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.

I had this card for a bit over two years. The benefits are not identical to a regular American Express Platinum. I forget which but out of the three - return protection, extended warranty, purchase protection - one is not available. I think extended warranty is there it was one of the other two. There were some other subtle differences I can't remember. I got this card with no annual fee the first year and 50,000 bonus sign up. Then I matched to a 100,000 bonus ID and they still gave me the 50,000 so I walked away with 150,000 points. Transferred them to Delta when they had the mileage transfer bonus, cashed out in Amex gift cards worth $2250, and got Delta Medallion status. Great deal.

Oh. I had that happen two years ago when I applied for the DL Platinum. A few minutes later I got two emails, once said to call some number to verify some information, and the second one (which arrived moments after the first) congratulated me on the approval.
I still called the number, and the agent said "it happens sometimes, we're all good on this end".

They decided it was better to save a couple dollars on shipping. Funny since Citi has been overnighting the Executive card automatically.

The card came in today, I activated it, looks fine.
The problem is that when I go to add additional card members (wife and kids) I am told that the fee will be $175 for up to three cards.
Have any of you with this card gone through this? Did you get charged and had to fight it, or did they waive it automatically?
