Yes, the supplementary cardholders receive every benefit. Note that the airline fee reimbursement benefit can be used by all, but is capped at $200 per account, not per card.

does amex still have a limit of 4 personal cards? Is this Plat a charge card or credit card?

This is a charge card. Limit rules have evolved:

Got my wife approved last night. Quick question. I have read AMEX is sensitive to heavy MS on the platinum. Would 1 debit per week slide through without issue?

I got it about 10 minutes ago. I applied, it said 14 days then 1 minute later I got a email I was approved, this seems how it usually happens with Amex for me.

Was able to get approved last night but looks like the link is dead now. Tried incognito and different combination of browsers. Says offer expired.

Finally pulled the trigger last night on it moving from my PRG to Platinum and getting the bonus. Instantly approved, gave me the number immediately too. Went through a large portion of the "to do list" last night. Got my global entry filled out this morning, but denied payment. Called concierge and she dug into it and said that new card services said that the CID given on the instant number is temporary and may not work for all purchases, apparently this was one. She said she was sorry, but the physical card has been printed and shipped rush shipping and should be here by end of day today via UPS (applied last night at 10pm eastern!)

Wow, that was short lived! Glad I got in under the wire.

I suppose the question is: if you applied and were approved for the 100K MR points, will they downgrade your bonus to 40K?

Why would they downgrade you? I took a screenshot of my approval screen and it clearly has the 100k bonus info next to it.

Right, that is what I thought too but I tend to get nervous about these things...

The offer probably was not intended to be public. It's more likely that they would award no bonus than a lower one. I don't mean that a person would make that decision, but rather that is the way the system seems to work. If the bonus does not post automatically you will need to submit evidence of what was displayed on screen. ~~I do not see that this offer had a POID number which will make it more difficult for first line CSR's to locate.~~ I see the POID number: BVGO:0009
