How did you get the IHG Platinum membership? It's not listed as an enrolment option for me.

You'd be able to see all transactions made by supplementary cardholders but they won't be able to see your transactions, account balance or points balance.

I signed up as an existing Plat Edge holder and received the 120,000 points

Nicely done - very jealous!! :D

It’s on the back of your card; listen out for the prompts (and yes I believe it's option 2 as mentioned)

Yeah they're the one with the two free visits (identical to what Citibank Signature offers I believe)

They asked for ID and the confirmation SMS; didn't ask to see my credit card

No disrespect to yld200, but I had a bad experience at Meat and Wine Co involving a couple of coughroaches and an extremely dismissive waitress so I've sworn off that place. I'd go to Rockpool at Crown for a good steak. Or Rare in the CBD. City Grill Room is pretty good too; a little more...

Already hold the charge card but was just wondering if it's possible to switch to an association-branded version to get a lower annual fee (and avoid another credit enquiry!). :)

I currently hold an Amex Plat Charge, and I’ve just received the Plat Reserve companion card which comes with a Priority Pass account limited to two visits, which I won’t be needing as the Plat Charge provides two unlimited accounts. Can I then assign the limited Priority Pass account to a...

The Plat Reserve used to be 1.5 points per dollar on all spend but then they made it 3/2/1 which is the same point structure as the Plat Charge. Would have been nice for the Plat Reserve to revert to the old point structure now that it's generally issued as a companion card to the charge.

Cheers - thanks for the feedback. I've got an EA Plat Edge as well but can't recall if there was a field for a membership number. I'm no longer an EA member though as I have left the industry, so can't check. I should have thought about this before I applied for my Plat Charge - the $250...

Some professional associations such as CPA and ABA offer the Plat Charge for a reduced annual fee and the application form is accessible by the general public (unlike Engineers Australia which will require a login to access the form). Does anyone know if non-CPA members will be able to apply...

Just received my replacement card with the correct date today via express post!

Many thanks Kaktus!!

I would think that Amex do not base their decision on whether or not to perform a credit check based on method of application, but happy to be corrected, as I've sent in a paper form for my Plat Reserve recently! :)

Pardon my ignorance - does a paper application mean that you don't get a credit check?

It's likely you'll get the 10,000 bonus points, based on personal experience. :)

Agreed!! :) When I called up to follow up on the application form, the guy on the phone said he'd personally print the form and mail it to me himself. That was last Friday; I'll keep you guys posted. I asked him to email it to me but he preferred to mail it out. I might insist on an...

Update: my Ascent points got merged with my Ascent Premium points! Nice surprise!
