(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 applied for both the amerprise gold and the ameriprise platinium card. I notice when I checked status it shows under application "PLATINUM CARD" and "The Amerprise Gold Card"
Did this happen to anyone else? Is it normal that it just says Platinium Card and not Amerprise Platinium Card?

I've added to the wiki. I think that question gets asked frequently and it important enough to constantly be brought up, especially if one wants to try out the Platinum for the first year fee-free.

All 52 pages?! Wouldn't it have been just as easy (and a lot more helpful) to respond as Mia or Mikesyr did? Isn't the point of FT to help each other?
Another question for all - how long do you anticipate it would take to get approval and have the card in my hands? A few weeks? A month? Any experience in this regard would be most helpful.

I just got approved for it around 1:30pm CT today. I know they *usually* overnight these.
I’m flying on Sunday to LGA and have a 3hr layover in DFW - would love to try both Centurion Lounges; so was hoping to get it Friday.
I'd love to hear more recent shipping time stories!
