Yes I think you're the first, if not only.  Mahraja also ended up with the Platinum as well if I remember right.

I recall applying for that specific product, but based on the previous DPs, it appears they considered certain [internal] criteria to determine whether one would qualify for one vs. the other.

When I spoke to the UW, which was the same individual conducting the verification process, we struck a good convo in Portuguese (dunno if that actually warmed up the waters or not 😁) I also mentioned that I would be in MIA within that period to open up an account, so between both of those two interactions is my assumption as for getting the 'nudge' for the Platinum Plus. But, that's just my theory.

I have no knowledge of the card you’re talking about, but just FYI my Hilton Ascend gives me free PP membership and 10 passes per year - might be worth looking into if PP is one of your main goals.

EDIT: I saw you don’t want to pay an AF and that card carries one at $95.

@FireMedic1, holy he11, I just saw that too - never saw a $20k secured card before lol

LOL! Guess the weathly have to get a secured card when they hit rock bottom too!

I guess so! But man, just imagine, with Disco often giving one’s CL a kick up the stairs at graduation from secured - wonder what kinda CL they’d give you upon graduation if you secured the card with 20 Gs...

@cardme Did you ever apply for this card? Given how unique it is, I am curious too, whether there is a backdoor entry to this card? Looks like being a bank client of this bank is very hard unless one isnt brazilian or brazilian origin or can visit the offices in FL.

The card is still available for those who can navigate the labyrinth

I actually ended up skipping out on this one.  Although appealing, the fact that I'd have to keep some money in a deposit account (and possibly travel to FL to schmooze my way in...?) - I decided to go the other way.  Pathfinder also includes (pay-per-visit) PriorityPass now too

Is Pathfinder taking apps once again?  I know they had stopped taking apps for several months.

Yeah, I believe they never reopened to new applications.  It is a great card otherwise though.  Covid-19 not only took a lot of travel away from us, it also changed some of the landscape of cards.
