Thanks eMailman... I am sure you are correct.. I found those numbers on a news site.. But nonetheless.. Another interesting tidbit is the criteria for the Platinum Card.. Most people think you need a 6 figure income, or equivalent (i.e., savings, money market, etc.) to receive the card, but they are mistaken.. A little known fact: If you own, say a Gold Card, after 6 or 7 months of having the card, along with good credit, and payment history, you can be upgraded without the income pre-requisite.. Same holds true for Green Card holders wanting the Gold Card..

Just thought I would post this, for those who are wanting the Plat. Card, but do not yet meet their "income requirements"..
