New Benefits for the AA Platinum Card

I received an email from Citi outlining changes and new benefits for the AA Platinum card.  Some of these changes will be useful though the majority won't really apply to my current card use:


Dollar icon Earn a $125 $150 American Airlines inflight discount after spending $20,000 with your card 
 
 Global Entry icon Up to $120 Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® application fee credit every four years 
 
 Fork and knife icon Up to $100 back in statement credits on American Airlines inflight purchases 
 
 Walmart icon Primary cardmembers receive a complimentary Walmart+ annual membership($98 in value) 
 
 Fox One icon 50% discount on Fox One annual subscription 
 
 Airplane icon Travel Protection Benefits


The increased mile earning is nice though the categories aren't very competitive with other cards including the Strata series.  It's also disappointing to see the annual fee increasing to $150 from $99.
