It's true that your account is eligible for only $200 total credit, but the qualifying transactions can be made by you, your SO, or your parents.

Thanks for the clarification. If this is the case, then I appreciate the flexibility for transactions by all cardholders to qualify for the joint $200 credit. Now if we (my additional cardholders and I) could all just agree on one airline for this travel credit....

Interesting, It gave an option to enroll my Blue Card, however there was no option to choose an airline. I did defer on enrolling my Platinum Card as of now, due to the fact that the program starts December 1st and I have plenty of time

You can't sign up until Dec 10, 2010. Then you pick your airline. The one you pick is good for a year. The good thing is if you fly coach charge the drinks, food, baggage fees, ext.. to your Platinum Card for the Airline you picked and up to $200.00 per year is covered. Of course you must book the Ticket with the Platinum Card. You can use the $200.00 just about anyone you want, even if you buy drinks for a spouse or friend. I ordered a card for my wife so we have $200.00 each. Even Airline change fees would be covered. ^
