__________________________________________________ _________________
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.

is this the worst credit card product as far as amex is concerned?
Amex is paying a primary account holder $400 to have 4 peoples gain full amex plat benefits free of charge for a year.

+ 4 people to have free Global Entry @ $100/each, so easy to get $800 in value out of the 1 free year.

Any idea if the annual fee will continue to be waived after the upcoming changes to the Amex Platinum line? It seems like the consensus is that the AF on this card will increase to $550 and that it will get the new uber benefits. I haven't seen anything about the first year AF being waived or not though.

I was just wondering if there had been any info released about it. Details about this card seem to be quite hard to find. Timing wise it would be more useful for me if I got the card in a few months, but I don't want to risk missing the AF waived version.
