Awesome!!! Congrats on the card! I am considering the platinum version myself(travel pretty frequently). I'm curious as to how the investor card looks in person though.

Hi @Anonymous & Welcome To myFICO Forums!!!
The Investor card is nothing Fancy, The Platinum is Nicer in My Opinion.
I only Travel on Vacation about once per year. I Mostly Use Amex Hilton, WF Propel (with Visa Combo) and Chase.
(I could not Justify The AF for Platinum.)
I really only App'ed for The Amex Schwab card. because I was Pretty sure it would be SP, and a fairly decent SL.
According to a phone call to a Amex rep.
The Amex Investor Card is kinda Meh. Compared to The Schwab Platinum. IMHO
Congrats on the approval!

Yeah, I suppose it's 'decent'

@calyx I feel better since you said it was decent, I was unsure.
I still think the Best part was @AJC
"Im so poor closet ill ever get to this card and investments is a cotton Schwab"
@M_Smart007awesome approval Enough to give me the itch for the card!
I'm confused about the perceived value difference between these two cards. If you deposit your MRs into your Schwab account you get 1.5 cents per point. If you use the investor card you get 1.5% cash back deposited. That seems like equal redemption with a huge difference in annual fee🤔

A couple thing that might be of Value?

You're right thanks! I overestimated the value of the MR which is only cashed out at 1.25 cpp.
