The Compound Verdict
Buy this card for the Admirals Club, full stop. The fee is now $695, but club membership alone is worth more to regular AA flyers, and the 125k limited-time offer is strong if you can put $15,000 on it in 5 months. If you visit the club fewer than a handful of times a year, the Platinum Select is the smarter hold.
