I hadn't thought about the supplementary card. We didn't want to pay $400 to get her her own card, but $175 for a supplementary card would be worth it for an extra set of FPC certificates.
Just so I understand how this would work...
- I continue to book 5 stays under my name under the PLAT5 code to maintain my existing platinum status for 2013.
- I register my wife for FPC, and book some stays under her name until she reaches Preimier status.
- Get my wife a supplementary Amex Platinum card.
- After receiving her Premier certs, we register her for PLAT5, and then I assume would have to book 5 more nights under her name, or can the PLAT5 be applied retroactively after we ask them?
If FPC grants early recognition of her benefits, we'd end up with 2 sets of Platinum certs and 1 set of Premier certs to use before Feb 28, 2013, and then 2 sets of Platinum certs for the 2013 year? I also suppose we need to complete this early enough in 2012 that FPC still grants the early status recognition, or we won't get the benefit of the extra set of certificates?
