Well low and behold, I was surely surprised by what I pulled off. Trust me I'm not complaining what so ever. So I end up applying for the AMEX Platinum only to be approved. After reviewing all the perks involved and reading different blogs I said to myself, " I wonder what would happen if I applied for the AMEX Gold ". So two days after getting approved for the Plat I pulled the trigger on the AMEX GOLD and Waaaa Laaaa I was approved again...So the question is has anyone attempted this before in such short period of time....?
I think Amex is glad to get the $800 in annual fees they just made on this.
Yes it has been done. If you can use all the perks, enjoy
I got my two AMEX cards within a little over a month apart. They did give me a really low starting CL on the 2nd one though. Congrats on two really great cards.

Yes. If you use them.
In my experience you need to be a frequent traveler to get the benefits of having the platinum card.
The gold card is a little more complicated. You can kind of break even with it if you're not a frequent traveler, but it's probably not a great investment unless you really have use for their mileage reward points.
Hover over my cards to see what ones. I was approved for Delta Skymiles Gold and Hilton Ascend.

Here's a question I have for you, and for many other folks who get these cards with big annual fees. And it's even a question I ask myself.
Why get a card at all if all you're going to do with it is get enough benefit from it to offset the annual fee? Why not just skip it and get a no-fee or low-fee card, which just gives you benefits?
