For the newish 60,000 points offer:
I refer my partner through Invite a Friend – she gets 65,000 + I get 18,000 = 83,000 points
We spend the £150 restaurant credit, £200 travel credit, £50 Harvey Nicks credit, we get the £6k spend done in 4 monthsish, get the pro rata refund and we’ve made a pretty massive profit.
Seems too good to be true!!!
Is this a question or a statement? Are you asking if you are missing something? If yes then you are missing:
– your partner opening a supplementary card which gives them a few thousand MR points
– Since July is not too far, if you are getting a card now then the Harvey Nicks credit is £100
– If you are taking a trip somewhere then should try to use the international restaurant credit too.Is this a question or a statement? Are you asking if you are missing something? If yes then you are missing:

Can’t believe how profitable this is. Surprised they do pro rata refund and no stricter criteria / larger spend requirements for this offer… it’s so good (but not for Amex)
Yes we’ve found it works for us. We have travelled a lot since covid lifted even in Y and have used the pp extensively. Worked out to our San Juan trip we used £540 worth of lounge use for 3x.

If you really wanted to play the game then you could speculate that the 60k Sign-up offer returns towards the end of the year, then sign up and use 2 calendar years’ worth of 150,- local dining + 150,- dining credit abroad + 50,- Harvey Nichols credit either side of New Year’s … that’s 700 quid of credits (plus the sign-up bonus) over the span of a few weeks.
Or you figure out that the Platinum card is actually good value to keep and don’t cancel at all.
I have one myself — I find I can just about justify the fee, but it does sit around in my wallet doing very little (I put all spend through my BA Avios)
Is there an additional fee to add a supplementary cardholder to the account? I’ve just applied (and been approved) for the platinum card and would like to add my partner, but I wasn’t clear if that would increase the annual fee (given presumably my partner would get her own priority pass card etc)
First supp is free, additional ones are £285 (which is actually a bargain for the insurance, Priority Pass and hotel status cards).
Perfect thanks Rob – will likely be just one I need anyway. Good to know…

Will the additional £285 supp allow cardholder AND a guest in?
