I prefer the tax option too. Simple and precise, as opposed to gold, with price fluctuations and having to buy in $3k+ units. Forgot Costco didn't take Amex though.

Seems to be devoid of the perks that the Platinum card has? I wonder if the conversion ratio from points to cash is any better than Platinum to make it worthwhile.

Been watching Amex slowly chisel away member perks on this card while raising the annual fee to "deliver this amazing value to you." $695 AF plus $8k spend makes it tougher to swallow.
