Good afternoon all
Are they are good deals for Amex Platinum at the moment other than the 30,000 reward point offer on their website?
Or can anyone recommend a similar card with like perks.
Thank you

Quidco usually have some deals, at the moment it's only £35 though.

What benefits are you specifically looking for? The Natwest black account offers some similar benefits although the requirements for getting one are more than the AmEx.

The perks would be Priority Pass (not Airport Angels), membership reward points which could be transferred to Virgin, elite tier memberships where we possible.

The Quidco offer is a good start!

That Natwest account isn't clear on what level of airport angel it provides. Plus it doesn't provide the hotel gold cards, which might be useful for the raddisson or starwood chains (less so for the ibis/novotel chains). Hilton gold cards are missed, having been dropped a while back.

I think the Natwest account travel insurance is perhaps better because they don't seem to require the trip to be paid with their cards...

Have airport angels but it seems to provide much less lounge coverage in US compared to Prioty Pass.
