If you are a dedicated traveler and pay close attention to your benefits, you can easily get the value of your annual fee for an American Express Platinum card. For instance, you get: 1) $200 Uber credit; 2) $240 in digital entertainment credit; 3) $200 in hotel credit; and 4) $200 in airline credit fees.
