Congrats!
on the new awesome Amex Plat!
@Lain answered your questions as I would have (had I not gone to bed at 5:45 pm and awakened at 6:15 am
). I'd just echo the benefit of the 3 AUs on the platinum for $175 (I've had DD, DH and DM) for two years and the only down side is DH is now sort of a lounge lord a la
@calypso726 DH the plane princess
Also...I echo holding off gold AUs if you can until they offer the 5K bonus. I did this for DF's AU. Again this year I received the offer for 5K for each AU but have a small family and couldn't take advantage of it...so very sad. Also an idea for your AU's...I keep all of mine in a separate wallet (the AU wallet) in my desk and then when we go on a trip or I need to take advantage of an Amex offer, pull it out and use it. I have everyone trained to hold out their hand for their plats before we go on a trip
Might be easier for you to do this with kiddos, parents, etc. Trust but control is my motto
Anyway CONGRATS again
