Topic Wiki


The main benefit you get is lounge access, a steal for $100 USD P.A - I bought a year off superultimate and I have enjoyed using it ever since.

Benefits
American Express Centurion Lounge Benefits | Unlimited Entry + 1 Guest
Lufthansa Business Lounge Access or Senator Lounge Access when flying in Business | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Delta SkyClub Access when flying on Delta | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Virgin Australia Business Lounge Access (Even for US cards, Australian ID though) | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Priority Pass Select | Unlimited Entry + 2 Guests for lounge access globally

Risks
You will need to lodge some personal information to the seller, in this case superultimate has been fantastic and would trust him going forward
You will need to submit your SSN BUT to American Express, not to the seller. If you dont have an SSN, a passport will do just fine, even if it isnt US issued (I used my AU passport)

How it is done
Assuming that you meet the requirements for becoming an Authorized User, the seller will send a request to American Express. You will need to call them to finalize the ID verification but apart from that its all taken care of from superultimate. You will receive the card to your home address, or you can have superultimate forward the card internationally through UPS.

After that, you will be given a log in into American Express, feel free to register for Priority Pass and when you receive both cards, its all done.

Sorry for bumping this topic. I just was wondering if anyone was interested still in splitting AMEX Platinum. I would possibly do it for a month at a time (depending on AMEX's rules) if you have a few flights and need Platinum for a short while to get into lounges, maybe we could work out a price.

Lemme know.

Why dont you just downgrade it to the green card?

they will let you, and it shouldn't affect your score (it's the same card/credit line, just different 'benefits')

actually, sinceit isn't a defined line of credit, i wonder what it does to your credit in the first place? does anyone know?

If i open and close the card...will is still have to pay the annual fee? Meaning, for the starwood amex, if you close the card when you are charged the annual fee, they refund the $45.

If i open it and then close it a few days after i get it, do they charge it prorated?

from experience, the platinum charge does get prorated.

however there are some reports that a canceled card won't work (supposedly they swipe at the door).

[one theoretical solution would be to get plat, downgrade to green ($95/year), [never activate the new card] and the old plat (same # as active green) will still work/show up as active]

If you cancel any card within 30 days of the annual fee showing up on the statement you will get a full refund.

I've heard now from a few people that have had their cancelled card swiped and it still worked.  Personally my card is active so I can't personally confirm or deny.

It may be worth spending the $1,000 on the card to get the 25,000 MR points and then canceling and paying the pro-rated annual fee for however long it took spend the $1,000 and get the points.

Careful, some Plats (like mine) only give the main card holder Priority card.

As said on a different post, I can arrange Star alliance gold + Skyteam Gold

Its a big headache, so lets hear what its worth for you.

Not sure what you're talking about, but all US issued AMEX Plat cards definitely have lounge access.

And I'm not sure what the moral difference is whether the card is downgraded or canceled?
