Well, I gambled and waited for the new offer on the Charles Schwab AmEx Platinum, but I did not count on this new language today: “Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card or previous versions of the Platinum Card.”
I tried to apply anyway, but was hit with the popup. I am sitting on 500K MR, so now I am seriously considering applying for the CS Plat despite the new higher annual fee, garbage (for me) credits, and no SUB. I guess I will wait to see how things shake out over the next week before I make a decision. At least P2 got her CS Plat 2 months ago.
