__________________________________________________ _________________
Is this card a different product than the normal personal Amex Platinum?
Yes, by all indications this card is treated differently. Multiple members have received the bonus after previously having a personal Platinum card. Members have also been able to use the travel credit on this card even after obtaining the travel credit on a personal Platinum in the same year. (Post 363)
Do authorized users have a fee?
The fee for additional users is waived for the first year. You can add authorized users at $0 when signing up or you can add them later by calling the number on the back of your card.
My decision is "in progress", what should I do?
Many users report that they received an "in progress" decision initially only to be approved within the next 48hrs with no additional communication (recon call). Click here to check status.
Does one need to be an Ameriprise customer to be approved for this card?
No, one does not have to be an Ameriprise customer in order to get approved for the card, although AMEX could technically enforce the "rule" in their terms and conditions and either cancel your card or convert it to a "regular" Platinum.

The Ameriprise Plat Amex application page is a dead page. I tried to apply for this card several times a while ago and got nowhere. I spoke to Ameriprise and they referred me to Amex. Spoke to Amex and they referred me to Ameriprise. Escalated and no one knew anything.
Gave up. I think they quit offering this product (at least via web) and forgot to take the page down.

[HELP] Does the Ameriprise AMEX Plat (1st year waived) work?
Hey, I was wondering if this worked:
https://www.ameriprise.com/cash-card...an-express.asp
I know it's contingent on having a relationship with Ameriprise (which I don't) but some people reported success....
has anybody tried this???

Would it shock you to know that this product has been discussed in . . . of all places . . . wait for it . . . the Amex forum?

Whatever happened to the Ameriprise Platinum AmEx with the first year fee waiver? I vaguely recall that Ameriprise cracked down on non-Ameriprise clients applying for the card. I'm ready to apply for the Platinum AmEx, but have not been targeted for any promotions, other than the standard 25K points. It just gripes me that I've been with AmEx for two decades and will likely accept the same 25K offered to those without AmEx relationships.
