wOOt!
I got my second amex card (BCE) in mid December 2020 and have been hemming and hawing about trying the 3x or app for something else in the amex eco system.. As it were, I also was approaching "Schwab Appreciation Bonus" level of investments. Today that reality kicked in and I decided to app online for the Schwab variety Platinum.
FWIW: my first and only previous amex was a green card I got some 30+ years ago and closed a couple years later without incident -- think I just didn't want to pay the AF since I had numerous free cards from prime lenders.
During the application I got fidgety about not being already logged in to amex and became unsure about the pre-filled fields and such since they appeared to be passed off from Schwab but many remained empty.. Figured that I'd login to amex and try the Schwab app again to see if that changed anything.
Primary concern being segregated residential and mailing and unique email addresses.. Before even testing if having amex logged in made a difference I decided to just call and forget about the automated process online.. as it turns out that was a good thing.
After all the info was collected verbally, the CSR wanted to connect me with someone else.. The principal question was to confirm a legal / residential address. Done. Then they asked if 7-10 days delivery was okay and I mentioned that I am planning to travel before the 11th and if it could be expedited that would be great since I would surly use the card for the event. Done, should be arriving early next week!
Congratulations on your approval!
Nice, grats on the Schwab platinum 
Congrats on your approval!
