Our Verdict
Interesting that they are targeting businesses that already hold a Platinum card, I guess it’s not that surprising given that some benefits are only available to the primary cardholder and not on the employee cards. I still would’ve thought that they could solve that with an employee card with the same annual fee and benefits but this works as well. Obviously doesn’t have any lifetime language as they are targeting those that have an active card already.
