Don't they swipe it before they let you in the lounge?

You can activate and try to earn the 25,000 signup miles.
If you cancel within 30 days of the statement that has the annual there's no charge.  If you cancel later the annual fee will be prorated at $37/month.

Why would anyone pay for the amex $450 if the continental world pp is $375, allows you into more lounges, waves fees on 2 pieces of baggage on continental, and gets you insurance on cars in israel.
I had an inactive platinum card in my wallet but could not bring myself to show it in case of a chillul hashem would not be worth it at all.

Prob on the 2nd statement or so if you meet the qualifying spending right away.

CO PP gets you in UA and US lounges for starters as well as select Star Alliance lounges worldwide.
It won't get you in AA and DL lounges like the AMEX Plat will.
