9Conclusion
- Your choice of Platinum card should ideally
depend on your lifestyle. - Have you wanted to join a gym for a while but
think it is too expensive or cant be bothered to
go through the process? Perhaps the UBL card is
your best option because of complimentary access
to Shapes. - At the end of the day, Platinum cards are
designed for disciplined high spenders and are
particularly useful when purchasing an expensive
product. - If your normal course of business requires you to
spend on expensive items, a Platinum card is
surely worth it because of its benefits and the
reward points/miles you can rack up. - If you are eligible for a Platinum card, you are
likely an experienced professional or business
person with a healthy income, but it is still
important not to get carried away by the large
credit limits being offered and manage your
finances responsibly, starting with paying your
credit card bill in full every month.
