AMEX platinum holder here for about 6 years: the only places ive found that do not accept it are smaller local places (europe, caribbean, mexico, and canada). never any issues with large national / international businesses / chains.

this has always been my justification for keeping the AMEX platinum. while ive never needed to exercise the full extent of its powers, i do have close friends who travel frequently who swear the card has saved their a$$e$ multiple times over the years.
not to mention: it's pretty cool to be carrying around a card that empowers you to walk into a BMW dealership, slap down the card, and just walk out with a brand new M5 competition. |

Not to burst your bubble but every dealer I've been to will only allow me to charge $3000 Max on any credit card.
