(In 2015 the offer included 25k MR points for $3,000 spend, with $450 annual fee waived.)
__________________________________________________ _________________
Is this card a different product than the normal personal Amex Platinum?
Yes, by all indications this card is treated differently. Multiple members have received the bonus after previously having a personal Platinum card. Members have also been able to use the travel credit on this card even after obtaining the travel credit on a personal Platinum in the same year. (Post 363)
Do authorized users have a fee?
The fee for additional users is waived for the first year. You can add authorized users at $0 when signing up or you can add them later by calling the number on the back of your card.
My decision is "in progress", what should I do?
Many users report that they received an "in progress" decision initially only to be approved within the next 48hrs with no additional communication (recon call). Click here to check status.
Does one need to be an Ameriprise customer to be approved for this card?
No, one does not have to be an Ameriprise customer in order to get approved for the card, although AMEX could technically enforce the "rule" in their terms and conditions and either cancel your card or convert it to a "regular" Platinum.

This should register very low on the priority scale, but I noticed that my metal Ameriprise Plat Amex doesn't have the Ameriprise logo on the back, like the plastic card did.

I was recently approved for the Ameriprise Amex Plat for the second time. Called customer service to add my 3 additional cardholders and was told the fee was NOT waived for the first year. I responded back by citing the exact language from the card offer: "Additional Cards can also be added for an introductory fee of $0 for the first year, then $175 for up to 3 Additional Platinum Cards" (language which still appears on the application page as of today) and the rep proceeded to tell me I was wrong. I escalated to a supervisor who said they need to launch an investigation to confirm the benefit...
Has anyone else had this problem? During my first experience with the card I had no issues adding my additional cardholders.

I would not push them too much, it would be a shame if they where to shut this sweet deal down.

I was told the same thing, the $175 fee never hit (I added the cardholders a few months in to holding the card). The CSRs aren't familiar with the Ameriprise Platinum and just mindlessly quote the terms of the regular Platinum card.

I was going to get my kids cards so they could get Global Entry for free
.If I don't get a positive answer right off the bat, I won't push it.

Current holder of the regular personal Platinum card, and would like to cancel the regular card and sign up for the Ameriprise version to take advantage of the $0 annual fee for the first year.
Any suggestion of whether I should cancel the regular Platinum card first and then sign up for the Ameriprise version, or sign up for the Ameriprise version first and then cancel the regular version?
Thanks!
