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.

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.

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.

Amex sent me an offer for the platinum card (I'm a gold card holder now) so I'm assuming I would get approved.

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.

That doesn't bother me at all. I'll just use my rewards gold for gas and groceries and build 2x points on that and use my platinum for travel. The $625 in fees for the two cards are not that much to me when I weigh it against what I'll be getting in rewards and perks.
That was the whole purpose of the thread...to see if there was a flaw to my plan. I still do not see one that is so outrageous that I should cancel one.
