- Amex platinum gets you gold status at rental cars and Hilton's. Basically getting you free upgrades and free breakfast.
- Amex MR points are a bit of more hassle to transfer than UR
- you can get all your AF back in year 1 on Amex, whereas you still have a $50 left over on Reserve card

One important thing to keep in mind is that if you travel a lot, the Amex card should not be your card of choice since it is not as widely accepted as Visa.
