For those like myself who fly frequently enough, the biggest draw of having an Amex platinum is lounge access. Why am I spending $700ish/year on a credit card when the biggest perk is being taken away?

I have other cards with much cheaper fees that get me things like global entry, clear, etc. the Amex was well worth the fee because pretty much anywhere I flew I got free food and drinks. That shite adds up if you’re sitting at a normal airport bar.


There are so many rewards/benefits with AMEX platinum that would still make it worth it if you were limited in lounge visits.
Given the increase in people in the lounges, the $75K spending threshold for unlimited usage is a good move.

For me, I'm not sure the benefits will still be worth it without lounge access. I've keep the platinum for a few years, with these changes in 2024 I will probably just rotate this card out on a 2-3 year rotation with other cards that have similar benefits, but cheaper fees. I know I need to be careful with chase 5/24 rule, but lots guidance online how to do that.
