Thanks everyone. Yes, a best friend/partner of almost 50 years, and does all the traveling with me. We also own property together. I normally would not have issue meeting the spend, have done it with many other cards, it is just right now my spending habits are in flux, and I do not have the time or energy for manufacturing. I cancelled my Prestige card a while back, and miss the lounge access, is the only reason I applied for it. Already have CSP, so the CSR was not an option.

Anyhow, thanks again, and Thanks MIA, I read that but was unclear if the free GOLD qualified, or if they had to be the purchased PLATINUM additional card.
