Amex Plat charge is only for people with certain lifestyle.mainly for someone staying in luxury hotels,going to fine dine restaurants.
It does not have milestone benifits.but it does provide spend based offers time to time.like currently the offer i got in which 12000 taj vouchers on spend of 3L.

Yes the calculator is way over inflated and renewals have become a pain. So 70k in annual fees are not justified even after you compare Amex Plat of other countries. Amex plat Indian version is probably the worst version.
Unless someone uses concierge and gets some exclusive invites, Amex plat is not justified as all the hotel so called elite tiers are devalued.
Lounge access is same as infinia or magnus except Centurion lounge access.

Well this was not necessarily true till early this year where u used to get 60k Taj vouchers or 100k reward points for renewal (after bargaining with helpdesk)
However now Amex has stopped offering those and is giving max 10 to 20k vouchers. Hence yes now Amex plat is only for PPL spending on luxury (though I fail to find any unique proposition with Indian Amex plat)

Not this year. they have stopped offering reward points and now offering useless 10k Taj voucher

After getting 100K reward points the card was basically free as it has quite a few benefits. However without reward points its difficult to justify the 70K fee.

Approx 5 Lakhs this year (I know it was less however I have 2 insurances via Amex and also a paid MRCC). Last year they offered 60K vouchers even with lesser spending. I have Infinia and Magnus and apart from acceptability problem with Amex Plat is difficult to spend on it except the multipler buys
My belief is same. Marriott with 30% bonus offer gives the max return. If you search hotels in Singapore (considering a nearby location) during December, majority of Marriott properties would be trending around 20-25K per night basis. If you book it for 5 nights, you are spending north of 1.25Lacs during the stay. On the contrary Amex metal with 1.15lac MR points offer with transferring it to 30% bonus MB points should be good. Plus with MB redemption, you get 1 night free with every block of 4 nights in Marriott property. Cherry on cake : You get upgraded to Bonvoy gold with AMex metal card which should give you a free room upgrade.
So all in all depends on your use case. IMO spending 70K to get this card should cover your stay during the holidays.

The final conclusion is that this card is for the ultra rich people and normal people can not even recover the fees. Got it. Amex should start LTF cards for good spenders 🙂
