Update
HI all,
Just an update from my previous post.
The invite was genuine and I was accepted. My card arrived yesterday.
I think the card requirements are not based on earnings nor asset value. It's based on consistent spending levels and paying on time. (Just my thoughts)
Anyway. Thoughts I'd let you know.

Scroll back to post 159 and read forward. Note that JD2's card is issued in Australia, and the standards are not relevant to North American markets.

Btw, final post on my 'spending issue' from 2 months ago..
I looked at my account online this morning.. lo and behold, a new feature to check your "spending power".
This is exactly the feature needed to avoid the situation I was in previously.

I have 2 houses (London and Munich) with no mortgage and 1 (Paris) with mortgage with a total value of under 2.5 million euro plus my salary is in the Ł150k mark.
I have a feeling that if I try and transfer my German Cent to UK (I have a Plat), they will reject me based on current spend being far below what it was (largely because work no longer allow personal cards to be used for business expenses).

Just wanted to chime in and provide you guys with my own experience. I am a Gold Business Card holder and I have put more than $2 million through it in business expenses this year. I spend almost nothing in comparison on my personal AMEX Delta SkyMiles Gold card. Did not receive any invites yet but they do keep spamming me with the pop-up for a Platinum upgrade which I have been declining because I would lose about $4,000 in points rewards annually if I were to switch from my current rewards plan. None of my expenses are lifestyle related. I work in internet marketing so it's kind of a spend $10,000 to make $1,000 type of deal.

Received and accepted an invite
Been an Amex Platinum holder for 18 years. Avg spend over the past few years is around 200k per year. Decent amount of luxury goods and travel spending.

Received and accepted the offer four months ago. I've received the Yurman gift card and been offered a number of concert and Broadway tickets. Unfortunately timing didn't work out for our previous tickets, but we did accept two tickets for Cats this weekend.
