New Amex Platinum Morgan Stanley card - 50k offer too!!!
« on: March 14, 2012, 09:29:58 AM »
See here.

Like the MB Platinum, this card seems to offer all the regular Platinum benefits with an additional few exclusive to this card:

- Free AU cards!!! (great for lounge access for the whole family)
- $500 cashback on anniversary $100,000 spent each cardholder year.
- Convert Morgan Stanley points into MR (until 12/31/2012).

I wonder if one could potentially have three simultanious Platinum cards: vanilla (standard) plat, MB plat, and MS plat... My guess is it will work.

Downsides are it seems you can only apply by phone through MS (877-263-9607), and you might have to be a MS customer to apply.

But here and DDF we don't necessarily believe everything we read :D

But that might not be a problem, if all you have to do is open one and fund it with $50 or whatever. Anyone know if opening a MS/SB brokerage acount pulls your credit?

Tempting, but that might be a bit ambitious after my recent crash-and-burn F/R...  Don't you agree?

Would the MS affilation improve chance of getting approved?

:D

Bear in mind that it won't be a classic 3BM unless you get an online app for the MS Plat (I don't think there is a public one yet).

Highly doubtful, practically no.

Great find. Definitely going to consider for my next 3 BM.

Bear in mind that it won't be a classic 3BM unless you get an online app for the MS Plat (I don't think there is a public one yet).

Theoretically, if you submit your online MB app the same time (or close to it) as the phone MS app, it could work.

That being said, it might be an issue if MS (as opposed to AmEx) is the one pulling your CR... Do we know that it'd be AmEx?

It's only 1 AU, but thats still an amazingly great benefit.

Read the fine print. Implies more than just one.

Read the fine print.
8. Share the benefits of American Express® Cardmembership by obtaining Additional Card(s). Obtain Additional Card(s) for no additional fee. Additional Cardmembers must be at least 15 years of age and never have had a defaulted account with American Express. Any account you have with American Express must not be in default. If you would like to add more Additional Cards please call the number on the back of your Card. Additional Cards: Additional Cardmembers do not have accounts with us but they can use your Account subject to the terms of the Cardmember Agreement. You are responsible for all use of your Account by Additional Cardmembers and anyone they allow to use your Account. You must pay for all charges they make. You authorize us to give Additional Cardmembers information about your Account and to discuss it with them. Annual fee for Additional Cards shall be subject to change at American Express' sole discretion.

I doubt that means more than 1 is also free.

Then why the (s) at the end of "Additional Card":

"Obtain Additional Card(s) for no additional fee."

It's an Amex issued card, earning MR points, why would MS pull?

+1, I'm guessing it could work for multiples.

I think I read of at least one on here recently. Too lazy to search. Either way it *may* be worth the risk to some people.

Well, at least with the MB, I know that they won't be pulling the CR :P, but with MS, because they're a bank, I was a bit more concerned. But you're probably right...

I like this card because it only has a $1k spend requirement
In about a month I will try a 2/3bm with other plat cards i think  8)

(I got a targeted offer for 50k points with the business plat but the spend is 5k so I doubt i'll even apply for that one)

If anyone gets this and is interested in keeping it open I would be interested in splitting annual fee for AU's
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.
