« on: June 09, 2011, 01:41:19 PM »
Competes with Platinum AMEX, it seems to.  Reported today by The Points Guy.

Waiting for analysis by Dan and others.

(ETA: I do not see much advantage if you already have the Plat AMEX.)

I'm not a huge fan of the RC program to begin with (being an infrequent Ritz stayer) as the redemption point costs are so high. Given that normal spending on this CC is only the standard $1 per month, your rate of reward stays will not be that high unless you already have a high rate of spend at their hotels.

I would say it "tries" to compete with the platinum. but it dosen't cut the chase.
