I do not have a personal Amex Platinum card.

Or would it be better advised to get a Companion Card (free) to at least have some Platinum card in my name?
The reservation should match the name on the Amex card to be used at check in.

If he makes a reservation for you, you need an Amex card in your name, not his, for check in.

The card can be any Amex. The companion card doesn’t have anything that says Platinum.
