Tips on Getting Plat?
Funny thing. My wife and I BOTH recevied "invitations" for the Amex Gold card in the past two weeks. Since each was individually addressed I assume each of us qualifies since it was pre-approved. Any chance combined we would qualify for Plat?

It seems when the Centurion Card was introduced, that Platinum became a lot more ubiquitous and very easy to get.

In D you have to be a cardmember for at least one year to get the Plat card.

In Italy you must use the Gold card for all payment ( from supermarket at fuel ), spend 26.000 euro at year and have a gold card from at least 1 year.
There isn't a Platinum application form on the Italian amex site, only the description of the card.

There is a platinum card application on the german website:
Choose the card consultor and click "lifestyle service" or "car rental cdw-insurance" as your preffered perks and click annual income "over 60000 Euros".
After that you will be transmitted to the platinum card online application.
So it's no more by invitation only!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
