AMEX Platinum & Additional Cardmembers
I poked around here and elsewhere and couldn't find the answer to these questions:
If I sign up my wife as an additional cardmember on my AMEX Platinum, will she
1.) Be able to enroll in Priority Club Pass Select?
2.) Get a reimbursement on Global Entry application that she charges to her additional card (assuming I already have on my card)?
3.) Get a reimbursement for $200 in airline fees per calendar year (assuming I already have on my card)?
Thanks for any help.

The $200 in airline fees are per (primary) account, not per issued card.
The other benefits pertain to any and all supplemental cards you may have issued on your primary account.
Good cheap way to "purchase" the first 3 priority pass select cards for $58.33 each. ;-)

I have 3 supp Platinum Card members on my account and the above poster is correct. Yes to # 1 and 2, but it's a total of $200 for the account, not per card.

Also to add, it cost the same to get 3 sup Plat cards as 1.($175) So if have children or others, get the most "bang for your buck" by taking out three.

Sometimes there is a bonus for adding additional cardmembers. It seems to be infrequent and somewhat rare

However, I haven't received an offer in quite sometime. I recently called in to inquire about incentives for adding cardholders. The basic synopsis that I got was that with all the recent incentives added to the card (Priority Plus, Global Entry, $200 airline credit, etc.) they were not currently needing incentives to encourage additional card member sign-ups.
YMMV...

IIRC the answer is yes to 1 and 2, but no to 3.

yet to received the points though as it take 8 weeks for points to show up after the first use of the additional card.

Yes. Supp card holders can enter a lounge without the primary cardholder. Supp cards have pretty much the exact same benefits as the primary card and can be used without the primary card holder being present.
