I'm SO excited.  With a little help from some of the awesome folks over on the credit card applications board, I learned about applying for the Amex Platinum using the incognito mode on my browser, got approved in minutes, and once I spend $5,000 (in three months) will have 75,000 points to use.  This is in time for an upcoming trip to Europe which will help me spend that $5K, and get some cool benefits like lounge access at the airport.  This is my first "high end" credit card. If you'd asked me even five years ago if I ever thought I'd have a charge card that has to be paid off every month, and has a $550 annual fee to boot I'd have said you were nuts.

Congrats, it's a lovely card to have.  I actually like having a charge card since it keeps me responsible and accountable on paying things fully without the temptation to go overboard

Sheesh. I FINALLY received it this morning at my work address via FedEx, after a few failed attempts at home delivery by UPS. The one sent by UPS is still floating around their system.

Anyway, nice phone stand, lol.

I'll look at all the literature tonight when I get home, and register for all the benefits that I'll use.
