If you are about to drop some serious money onto one of their 10x or 20x retailers then the Ultra plan can be worth it just for the points. But if you mainly spend on 1x retailers then I think you need to get value from the rest of the proposition to justify the fees IMHO.
I couldn’t make the Ultra plan stack up – I’ve just renewed Amex Plat for a year – but having done the sums, I’ve upgraded to Metal.
They don’t do a very good job of explaining the benefits! They advertise the price at £14.99 a month, but since you have to commit to a year, you may as well pay it upfront for £140 (£11.67/ month).
That also unlocked a ‘spend £2k, get 5000 points’ challenge – which weirdly wasn’t advertised either.
Valuing those points at 1p each, I can certainly get value out of the net Metal cost of £90.
The only reason for me to pay for Metal is that it comes with a free FT subscription that otherwise costs £39 a month.

Is that the standard digital plan?
Standard Digital plan is often on sale for about £160. Combine that with Amex £35 off and it’s a decent deal if you want just the FT.
Wait, I just looked at the annual cost of metal and that’s pretty good. For some reason I thought it was more expensive, must’ve confused with ultra.
Metal looks pretty good if you were anyway going to get those subs.
