Forums Payment cards American Express Supplementary Card Question

  • 132 posts

    Random question – does anyone know when applying for a Platinum card with one supplementary card, do they both arrive in the same envelope addressed to the main cardholder? Or is the supplementary card sent separately? Cards would be in different surnames, both at the same address if that’s relevant.

    Also how are they sent? Regular mail (not signed for) or courier?

    Thanks.

    Normally regular mail. It’s usually advisable to apply separately for the supplementary card once your account is set up as you get bonus points doing it that way, unless things have changed.

    That is an important point.
    This is (still) worth 5k that you wouldn’t otherwise get if applied for at the same time.
