So the highest earning Amex (without needing an invite from Amex) is the platinum!

With lots of awesome travel perks.
Perks you don't think you need till you start using them and then you go... Why did I wait so long to get this card.. that's exactly how I felt, hands down the best card around in my opinion.

Gone was paying for breakfast at Sydney airport on day trips intestate. Gone was waiting to pick up a rental car upon arrival, now it's waiting for me with a bay listed.. Just subtle things that save time and money is where this card shines.

If you use my link you'll get 90k bonus points if you're new to amex and I'll get 45k as a referral bonus.

Even if you do not qualify for the sign on bonus it would be great if you could please use any of the links shared here to help one of us out!

The Go to Card for All Amex Spend. Great Travel Benefits(including Hilton Gold). The annual fee is almost covered by the $850 in travel credits(including Platinum Reserve Credit) + Accor Plus free hotel night. I have enjoyed the Australian financial review subscription and it even provides vehicle breakdown service which saves me $100 in RAC membership.

Can one be approved for the platinum charge card if your income is less than $100 k ? Do they take into account household income ?
