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.

(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.

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!

you need at least one active card as to not lose existing MR, make sure you exhausted your benefits otherwise

Yes I have the Amex Everyday card. So it seems that there is no particular reason to cancel the regular version before or after applying for the Ameriprise version?

Hello everyone,
I read this thread, and I think I understand how this card operates, but I would like to get confirmation from the experts here.
First of all, I never had Ameriprise Platinum, or regular Platinum, personal or business versions.
I'm interested in International Airline Program, as well as Marriott gold via SPG gold, and the $200 airline credit. If I'm going to apply for the regular Platinum, I'd rather hold out for the 100k offer to return. I can't get anything but 60k to show up in various incognito mode.
If I apply for the Ameriprise Platinum, will I receive all personal Platinum benefits mentioned above? And when the 100k offer returns for personal Platinum, do I need to cancel Ameriprise card before applying?
Thank you so much in advance!

So I'm assuming I can apply for regular Platinum while still holding onto Ameriprise version. Thanks!

I applied for this plat card for the insurance benefits I heard about and I am hoping they are included on this version of the card. We plan on going on some cruises and Amex Plat is supposed to cover emergency medical evacuation and transportation, and repatriation of remains. You do not have to pay for your trip with your Amex card. You get this benefit simply for having the card.
Does anyone know if my spouse can also come into the Delta lounges with me or does he need his own card as AU? Can I also bring my 2 daughters?

Thanks everyone. It sounds like my spouse and I can get in free since he is an AU on my plat card. What other benefits does an AU get? I know I can transfer MR to my spouses accounts but I am not sure of other benefits and I read through a lot of posts.
