The $175 annual fee for the Supplementary card actually entitles her to order three. One for you, the others can be given to your children (if over age 15) or perhaps to a parent or other close relative who would not abuse the spending capability but who could make use of the lounge access, hotel statuses, or other benefits.

Any data points on whether a targeted Delta Gold offer to DW (who has not previously had the card and who is not interested) would generate the bonus if I applied (have had card)?
I have used her CITI offers in this way in the past, but not AMEX.
Thanks.

As a data point...
I wanted to do the same thing (apply using somebody else's offer code) but I wasn't able to because I was unable to edit the name field.
However, today I just kept visiting the Amex platinum card site in incognito mode, and about the 4th time I visited it, the 100k offer populated!
I've confirmed with multiple reps that I will in fact receive the 100k offer. Of course, I guess nothing is concrete until I have it in my hand...
Edit: This offer is for the personal platinum card.

Responding to RSVP offer
I am trying to respond to an RSVP offer which my mom received for amex ed. When I put the RSVP code in on the amex website it does not allow me to change the name of the person. However, I am able to change the "name on card." Is the "name on card" the only name that matters?
First time responding to a targeted offer with different name.

Using targeted offer (not addressed to me)
Hi,
My wife got a targeted offer for a business platinum. As she doesn't have a business I thought about using it
But the name on the application (Freude out) could not be changed so I couldn't use it. That seems to be a new change as I think it was possible before.
Is that correct or did I do something wrong?

Just delete it out and type in your info. Did this on a 75k Business Gold offer today. Instant approval.

Yes, the browser doesn't let you change it, unless you dig deeper. I just did this myself with a targeted 100K Personal Plat offer and was approved, same as (the aptly-named) FlyerTalkUserName. The name info is in form fields. Use the developer tools in the browser to change that and it's changed on the page.
