No it is not worth that money.
At the least of things, when you pull it out to pay for stuff you are telling the people around you that you can afford this card.
“No it is not worth that money.”
You can get your $695 back if you work it.
Depends...I only use AMEX, have no other credit cards except my bank debit I never use and AMEX is paid off every month in full. Had the Platinum back in the early 2000s because I was on worldwide travel constantly and the perks were great. Went back to the Gold card but just had an offer to go back to Platinum and they’d give me 100,000 points and 5X points for travel. I switched back because the first year alone would pay for the card.
I don’t fly anymore just because of the BS travelers are mostly trailer trash, TSA is worthless and the airport lounges are nothing like they used to be.
So it’s personal if it’s worth it or not.
