Current Offer: Earn 125k points after 6k spend in the first 6 months+ 10x on worldwide restaurants up to $25k in purchases and $695 annual fee

Why I Love it:  The American Express Platinum Card is a heavy hitter, and not just because it’s made of metal.

You’ll also have access to Priority Pass lounges (enrollment required), Amex’s own uber lux Centurion Clubs, earn 5x points on airfare purchased directly with the airlines or Amex Travel, access to Amex’s own Fine Hotels and Resorts program for upgrades, breakfast, and credits, earn $15 a month in Uber credits (enrollment required), and their Membership Rewards are some of the best points you can possibly earn. I love using their points to transfer to programs like Aeroplan, Singapore Airlines, Air France, Emirates, Avianca, Qantas, and many, many more.
