Do you mean three?

I thought it was four free additionals, so yes, I guess three @ $50 or more each would do.

would the card work for lounges although it was never activated or only if it was activated (even if cancelled)?

too late for what?

Why does that matter? Just activate it then cancel it.

don't forget there's another $175 fee for adding up to 3 additional users, that means $50 apiece won't even cover what you have to pay to get them cards, let alone help cover the annual fee. not sure where the sense in that is.

How long does an inactive card work for?

edit
unless of course they refund the au fee as well. has anyone confirmed that they'll refund it?

So here is what I had in mind:
1 guy (say Mr. Platinum) applies for the card with 3 additional cards under Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C.
Once approved and the cards delivered to Mr. Platinum’s residence, he cancels the additional cards and sends them to Mr. A,B and C for 100$ each.
Mr. A,B and C earns 4 years of lounge access for 25$ a year. Definitely not bad.
After the points post, Mr. Platinum decides whether he wants to keep the card (then he is really Mr. Platinum

) or to cancel it and try to get his annual fee, or some of it back.
Now who’s in?

I wanna be Mr. Platinum (in real life)

does an initial work? (i have 4 family members with same first initial) want to make a card with first initial/last name. will they all be able to get into lounges with it?

Sounds like this could work.

Why would not any one just apply for himself and than cancel it I know u take a hit but u get 50k points ?

It does not need to be activated.

Wouldn't I get the refund on the $175 when cancelling the card?

Is this not a limited time offer?

Eli · « **Reply #133 on:** November 22, 2010, 03:44:29 PM »

Nope.

moish · « **Reply #134 on:** November 22, 2010, 04:41:05 PM »

regardless only one person will get the "limited time" 50k. why would that be an incentive for your authorized users to quickly get it done?

Cholentfresser · « **Reply #135 on:** November 22, 2010, 07:20:58 PM »

I'd pay $50 for a amex platinum with my name on it.

Is Anyone trying to form a group? I'm also interested

Yup · « **Reply #137 on:** November 23, 2010, 02:45:49 PM »

Yup. Let's get this going. So we have a total of three people so far?

Cholentfresser · « **Reply #138 on:** November 23, 2010, 02:49:27 PM »

didn't Asher O say that if he had 3 people he would do it for 50 each?

I did. I got 3 maybe commitments, I guess it's time to apply.

I just wanted confirmation (Dan?) that if I cancel in the first/second bill cycle I'll get a full (or at least prorated) refund.
