American Express Membership Rewards - Amex To Charge For Platinum Card Issued By Ameriprise

Just received a letter from Amerprise explaining that they are discontinuing there relationship with American Express and as of 2009 they will be charging for the AMEX platinum card. Is there any other companies that issue fee free platinum cards?

Ameriprise will be issuing a card which they state will have similar benefits. These benefits are "in negotiation."

Do you know if it is going to be Amex, Visa or Mastercard and when is the anticipated launch date?

The representative I spoke to at a conference said it wasn't decided yet, but he did not think it would be an AMEX. The information Ameriprise just sent states early 2008

Not surprising... would expect something similar to happen to the free Plat/Cent cards offered by AmEx Private Bank as well once the sale to Standard Chartered is finalized.

Nice while it lasted, getting 4 plat cards fee free was a great perk.

:td::td::td: That bites! :( I had just hit the level in my Ameriprise account to qualify, and with the addition of AA lounge access, I was salivating! Darn the bad luck!

I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about the card Ameriprise will be issuing to replace the Plat. AMEX. I have not been able to find any information on it as of yet.

Go www.ameriprise.com and go to banking products.

The launched the World Elite and World MasterCard. They still offer Amex Platinum and Gold Cards with the first year's annual fee waived. I believe with qualifying spending or balances some of the fees can be discounted or waived, but not 100% sure.
