Just wondering if you can do this - if so, the value of the Platinum Credit card has risen in value with the free flight and 1.5 Ascent Points per dollar and I will likely look at getting both.
As Mal mentioned, Amex used to restrict the number of cards you could have. For personal cards, that was 1 credit and 1 charge card. If you applied for a new card of either type, your old one was cancelled and the balance transferred. You could have additional business cards in your name.
They actively promote holding multiple cards now with "Apply for another card" links strewn around their website including the front logon page where it appears next to the "Upgrade your card" link so I think the meaning is pretty clear. "Different cards for different spending" seems to be the catch-cry.
