Seems like that should be clue enough that you're better off with the Blue They want to up-sell you to a more profitable product.

Lately they've been bugging me about a "plum" card, of all the goddamn things ... for my non-existent business, naturally. Plum??? I mean, they're sending them to my wife as well, so they should know I'm not gay... wtf?

The Plat card get's you access to a couple Airlines Presidents Club. For a while my Co would pay for a club if you traveled a lot, I got them to put that towards my Plat fee.

I have the blue... its ok but I rarely ever use it...

MC/Visa = easy to use
Discover = less easy
Amex Blue = more suck for use

Not a bad idea... that'd definitely be nice for the long layovers on international flights. What does the membership typically run?

I've found it has a lot to do with location. In FL I don't think any merchant declined my AmEx, in NC it happens from time-to-time, and in West Virginia they look at me like I'm a leper when I hand it to them. Even the grocery stores up there won't accept it.
