How long have you had this?
If over four years, consider product changing to a Freedom, and then applying for Sapphire Preferred at 80k.
As for Platinum, I think I get close. Even though I have CLEAR through Platinum I can't count that in good conscience when the Precheck line is faster at my airport every time. Same with $50 Saks. I wouldn't shop there so the real value is arguably less but I get socks and tshirts out of it.
Disney uses up the $20 credit ($240). I use UberEATS a lot, so that $200 is easy. I can burn $200 on SW with early birds and so forth. Walmart+ gets ad supported Paramount Plus and comes in handy for some delivery items. I don't physically shop at Walmart but if you did it probably would be useful.
So ya you can get there, especially if you hit a few Amex offers that work for you.
As an everyday spender Platinum isn't great but Amex Gold is. That will help you actually have a point balance worth something. If you can scoop Amex Blue Business (2x everything up to $50,000 a year/100k points), then you are cooking.

Need a new card for my new job. Last job we used the company card, now I can use my own.
This card will mostly be used for hotel travel, gas, some food and groceries.
Been bouncing between Chase Sapphire or Freedom and the Capital One SavorOne Cash rewards.
Anyone have experience with either or recs.
Much appreciated
