I think AUs on Amex cards result in a hard inquiry and count as a 5/24 slot unless you call into Chase for a recon. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. Just make sure it’s worth it for you to do that for a p2. If you take the Plat Authorized User, make sure it’s worthwhile for you.
The breakers is a cool hotel. As someone that lives in Palm Beach Island, I am sure you will have a lovely time there!
Maybe a newb question but what is a 5/24 slot and why would I need to call Chase for a reconsideration?
And agreed, wife and I stayed at the Breakers a couple of years ago - prepandemic and pre-baby - and had a great time at the resort as well as bumming around the island. Hopefully will be just as fun with the baby in tow .. he'll be ~20 mos old by then so should be ok, we've just never stayed in the same room as him before. Last time at the Breakers we were there off season and they upgraded us to a suite with a separate living room which would be perfect for this trip apart from the fact that room is now over $2k / night! So yea, we'll see how it goes
. Bonus is my parents live in Boca so it makes it easy to combine with a trip to hang with them for a few days before or after.
Also, if there is a a hard credit inquiry for the Platinum AU card does the same apply if she gets the Gold card instead? Am I correct that the only difference between the secondary gold and platinum cards is that the platinum comes with access to the lounges and hotel status .. but those would only be necessary if she was traveling on her own .. if with me I assume she could access the lounges as my 'guest' right?
