I have a business AMEX Plat, and am planning a somewhat convoluted domestic trip. Am I better off booking through them or should I just do it on my own?

Is there any practical use to the concierge service? Reports seem to say they're pretty useless.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

How long did they put you on hold to do that?

Being that I would like to take advantage of the new platinum benefit of getting HHonors Gold status, and the fact that I don't have an HHonors account yet I have the following questions: (pls direct me to the correct thread if this isn't)

A. Will the address (country) on my (new) HHonors account need to be the same as on my 'Platinum' cc file?
B. Will the HHonors program send me any kind of membership card?

TIA

Slight add of detail -  looks like Delta is the most convenient for a bunch of my flights (6 of them). worh opening up a cobranded for that?

I have a business AMEX Plat, and am planning a somewhat convoluted domestic trip. Am I better off booking through them or should I just do it on my own?

No. I believe that some have reported luck with downgrading to everyday card, but one is a charge and one is a credit card. I'm not sure it can really be done...

Is there any adventege to gain points by adding additional cards for the platinum?
Why isn't the MR points more valuable if I have a platinum card because of the 30% points discount by having the platinum?

Have others found the TSA precheck to be very useful? If only I have the precheck will they let the rest of my family come with me to the precheck line?
