To be fair, they are giving a total of $300 credits
True, but the more compensation you have to give, the more people it may not be beneficial to. For me, I wouldn't keep the card at $595 unless I get a solid retention offer. Obviously, there are some that this will work great for.

I have had the card for 7 years, this might be the reason I'll finally cancel.

It appears this strategy is working well for them since this is now the third card that has followed this model slowly over time (Platinum, Gold, Business Platinum).
Some new users will see great benefit and sign up, some existing users will cancel, most will not use it, but keep the card because it's a business expense / too much hassle to cancel and change over cards / are getting enough other benefits out of it.

Where there any changes to the Delta GC reimbursement this year?
What is the largest GC dollar amount now acceptable for $200 airline reimbursement?

Is there anywhere else to “cash out” the $200 except the AA GC’s?

Got a plat and added to uber account, not seeing the credit anywhere. I have another plat so I am familiar.
Uber cs is not helpful.
Tried deleting and adding again, but still not.

Any ideas?
