Yes. In the USA the cost of a supplementary Platinum Card is $175 per year. For this fee you may request three cards, one for your spouse and one for (example) a child over 15 or a parent. The supplementary cardholder receive all of the benefits, exactly the same as the primary cardholder. (The airline fee reimbursement benefit is $200 per account, not per card.)

I suggest that you spend some time reading the Wikipost at the top of this thread...

... and working your way through the embedded links. You cannot use your Platinum Card directly for Global Entry or TSA Pre-Check benefits, you must enroll in those programs and use the Platinum Card to pay the fee, which American Express will reimburse.
