the only thing i really miss with amex is that it is much easier to dispute and win a transaction.
Spot on and agree. I had the AMEX platinum when I owned my own business and to be honest my current Chase card is simply equal at a fraction of the cost. Now if you really dig the high brow recognition the AMEX platinum and blacks get go for it but remember the cost is still the cost unless someone else IE not your own business is paying for it. Never understood it when people said it's a business expense, it's my business and my money still comes out of my pocket???
