I applied, and I got approved for the Platinum Card. Rather surprising considering that I have very good credit, have been approved for all cards I applied previously. I'm stuck with 10k US Airways miles now, and I have no plans to try and get to 25k. Those of you who are in a similar situation - what do you plan to do? I'll try emailing the US Airways folks asking for the 35k - but otherwise, can you use it to get gift cards? I hate this!
