I want an Amex Platinum Charge Card

Captain_Barbosa

I would like the amex platinum charge card, but it comes with quite a hefty fee. Is there a way of reducing this fee or avoiding it all together.

Thank you

Be ridiculously wealthy. All financial firms will be falling over themselves to have you as a customer.

I heard there is a referral scheme - 5000 MR points for the existing platinum charge card holder and 5000 MR points for the new card holder once a spend threshold is reached?

Why do you want one ?

Why pay a fee when you would probably be better off with a credit card and settle in full each month.

I've been down the road and came to the comclusion that the amex cashcard was a better bet as cahsback on spending and no fee.

I used to have both a personal and company platinum Amex. Great service, but there is a fee! If you can't justify or afford the fee, then chances are the Platinum isn't for you...
