My business partner has a Green “Employee” Card but asked for a Platinum card mostly for lounge access. Signed up online today and received a “Your Employee Card Member application has been approved” email.

I understand that there is a $ 350 a year fee, which is fine. What I’m not sure about are the benefits he will have – will it be the same (Dell, Hotel status, Airline Fee Credit, etc.) as the main card? If so, will I need to enroll him separately or will he need to set up his own online account to do it? The main card is already enrolled in all the available offers and benefits.

The main card already qualifies for Lounge guest access – will the new card also allow it or must there be $75K spent on it separately?

Right now the employee green card charges just show up on the statements in a separate section – will that be the same for the new Employee Platinum card or will there be a separate statement for the new card?

The main card is already set up for Auto Pay from our bank account – will this carry over to the new card or will it need to be set up for it too?

I tried searching as I would have thought the subject must have been posted before but I guess the term “employee” is too broad to return any meaningful results.

Is there anything else we should know about the Business Platinum Employee Card that I should know but haven’t thought about?
