Is there a minimum ticket price?

If for example my father would have such a card, would he be able to purchase a ticket for me, and my brother would be able to use the companion ticket?

Thank You.

Aside point - I know that sometimes the citibank chairmans card gets it 1st year annual fee waived. Does this ever happen with the Amex Plat?
