Amex Platinum Card received!

I applied on Sunday at 11 pm. And got the card today! 

 

I was out all day waiting for the email "your card is shipped" but it never came. Just before I got home I was wondering if it's already here. 

 

And it was! 

 

I only have 1 year of credit history and yet I got this card and that's just crazy.

 

Going to be traveling a lot this Christmas, and buying some computers so it's going to be easy to hit that min spend.

 

So happy!

Re: Amex Platinum Card received!

I certainly like mine...but it's actually not a very hard card to get. Starwood and CSP have generally higher standards.

 

Just because every Platinum gets nice perks doesn't mean every Platinum has massive spending power.

Personal spend: Amex Gold, Amex Schwab Plat., BofA PR+CCR(x2), Costco
Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU
Perks: Delta Plat., United Explorer, IHG49, Hyatt, "Old SPG"
Mostly SD: Freedom Flex, Freedom, Arrival
Upgrade/Downgrade games: ED, BCE
SUB chasing: AA Platinum Select

I've been following the Op's journey on this Platinum adventure and I'm fairly confident it was the 60k offer but he can say for sure. 

 

@NRB525, even though I've only had the Platinum myself going on 2 months now..  it's absolutely worth every cent to me already.  It's like the 'Bark Box' for dogs only this is the 'Perks Box' for adults. Already basically been credited back what the annual fee cost and taken advantage of offers.
