Certainly, Insurance is not a reason to keep the Platinum and I would value it as zero in terms of offset to fees (you may be able to claim in some capacity but to all intents, I class it as not covered). Obviously weigh up the other benefits of the card. Personally, I have Platinum and Nationwide Flexplus and pay a bit extra to have minor conditions covered as I travel to the US fairly regularly and no insurance there would be catastrophic.
Someone with no pre-existing conditions would obviously value the plat offering quite differently or are we suggesting it’s a dud product overall
