I noticed that if you go through Ameriprise, you can get a Plat with the first year free.

Wow that is a good savings especially who is thinking of apping

It's a nice catch, but considering they occassionally throw 100k sign up bonus offer    100k bonus > $450 annual fee

Damnit, this caused me to Drapp tonight What is worse is I got a pending message saying that I would be notifies in 10-12 days.  Oh well.

I almost apped during the 100k offer, but im in the garden, at least im not an ameriprise member so i have no reason to be tempted by this. XD

You have to be an Ameriprise customer to get the first annual year fee waived?

Also is this card hard to get like the Black Card?

[jsucool76]

It says on the page "fee waived........... If you're an ameriprise member"

Ah that sucks.

There are plenty of other offers that have requirements like that which are not enforced.

Example - Barclays US AIrways MC has a special offer with higher bonus miles that's supposed to be open to US Air's Chairman members only.  But, no one checks status.

This offer could be the same.  I may guinea pig it later this month.  Although, I do have Ameriprise insurance.  I wonder if that counts as membership.
