I think all in all the Platinum Club is worth it. The discounts you get more than make up for what you paid out at the start. I like the fact that you can use the vouchers for brokered items too. I was a little upset at first that the animals I'd paid top dollar for were given away, but then I saved on a lot of things I wanted later on, so it evened out. All in all, I would recommend it. The David bundle was quite a savings after all the discounts, vouchers, etc... ShadowWind
