Thanks for all the good info.
I just completed online app for Ameriprize Amex Plat card ( see Flyertalk forum under Amex rewards) The ability to get 2 cards with no fee for one year and PP for both my husband and myself was important. Even if we keep them next year, we get $400 airline credits each year( from this and other card) and this off sets total cost of card.
Received response that I would receive response in 10-12days. Others on Flyertalk say they received welcome email within much shorter time frame. (FICO is 810) Hoping to expedite card for travel next month.
Will update .
