re: Credit Card Rewards and Points Discussion

For the previous poster who asked, the heading of the invitation says "THE PLATINUM CARD FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS" and I don't see anything anywhere else that mentions it being a business card. Looks like it's the personal version.
And to Teddy's point, I've made the decision to pass, as tempting as it is. Before getting this invitation, I had no intention of getting another card for another nine months, and that was going to be a Chase Ink Plus to replace my then year old Bold. If I apply for the Amex, I'm running dangerously close to grabbing the credit card tiger by the tail, and that's something that I simply won't allow to happen.
My travel and spending habits don't currently justify the fee, so I'm not going to apply for it, no matter the welcome bonus.
