re: Amex Platinum worth it?

My problem is I don't really travel that much for business and my business is all local so little gas or expenses. So a majority of my purchases are materials, none of which are in a qualifying category.

I use mine almost exclusively for materials. I know I only get one point per dollar spent but they add up fast. I also don't worry about bumping into a credit line limit when I have a huge project to fund. I've put upwards of $100k on my business card at a time and Amex doesn't blink.
