6. I've never used Global Access but apparently it's reimbursed. Also, you get companion tickets if you book international business. I've never used them but I will soon as some family will be relocating oversees.
Basically, the $450 is pretty much nothing considering I was paying $175 for Rewards Gold with none of the associated benefits.
Can you expand on point 6? Did i read that if you book business class overseas you get a +1 essentially
Did anyone address the OPs issue of having both the gold/platinum open? If I upgraded to platinum would it "cancel" my gold? Not sure I want to pay for both.
Amex sent me an offer for the platinum card (I'm a gold card holder now) so I'm assuming I would get approved.
Another question, how can i maximize points/fees based on sign up date? Is it better to sign up early in the year or late?

There are some flights you book through AMEX Trael that are designated companion tickets. You pay full price for 1 Ticket and you get another for free.

You only get this if you managed to apply separately twice and not upgrade. Technically he has 2 accounts and will be paying for 2 Fees- which is ridiculous as he will be carrying two balances.
If he upgraded, like I did, my Gold Premier still works but does not accrue points like he used to. It has the same power as the Platinum card. Though you wont get any benefits.
I use it as a backup or second card if the GF to go the store. Never give that bitch the Platinum.

Depends. Is it an Open account? They send those to anybody associated with a small business. Usually the personal offers are not a promise of approval, only the offer code.

It's an anniversary year, not a standard Jan 1. I upgraded the previous December and my fee did not attach to February. It will not roll again until this February 7th.
Between December and February I was charged a prorated rate.
