Tried it 3 weeks ago and it works as stated. They ask for how many people are going through (my guess is they charge amex per user). On another note, the new lounge is pretty disappointing

Refer to changes made in original post. I've edited it. Also : American Express cardholders get fast track lane at Sydney Airport - Australian Business Traveller

Don't think so. Only Cent and Plat Charge. Anyone tried it at all?

I should probably have been clearer. Its the express path lane when you depart not when entering ( they got rid of that along time ago). The perk is more relevant for other supp holders than main holder - because usually main holder would already hold elite status at one of the airlines.

Just saw on the Amex site this week that the sydney airport express path lane on departure can now be used by just flashing your amex plat charge card. Can anyone confirm that they've used this perk without issue? An article can be found regarding the change that started this week...

Thanks for clarifying! Is that one supp holder - or all the holders? Would be great if both sons got Le Club Platinum.

Was looking at the plat charge benefits today to enrol, specifically all the hotel elite status - which are perhaps the most useful benefit out of the card. When enrolling I noticed that it said both "primary and supplementary card holders are eligible" for some of them - for example accor...

Actually... they told me that plat edge is not the same account and can't pool points. For that reason they said amex reserve was better. I was thinking. yeah right.

Just called up and was denied the platinum edge card as a companion card. They said I would have to pay the $195 fee. Even after I said that people had this waived they still said it was not possible. Instead they said I could get the platinum reserve. Can anyone comment on this?

When applying for plat charge we mentioned that we would like to cancel our old amex (the low interest one) - instead they mentioned something about a free upgrade of the credit card with the annual fee waived for the life of the plat charge ( can't remember exact details ). I was wondering if...

How does this work for Amex Platinum supplementary card holders?

Very useful information Fatcat - thanks a lot esp for no 3. The problem with HK is perhaps due to the fact that american express platinum has had their concierge service discontinued in HK.

I know there have been a few threads, but none recently so I wanted to ask a few questions before I got my charge card regarding the concierge service. (1) I googled plat concierge but could only find American express rewards concierge - Is this service one and the same? (2) If this is the...

Got approved the next day. Pretty quick. I don't think they instant approve the charge card? Hopefully the card will come before New years. Having a lot of difficulty getting restaurant reservations without a good concierge.

Just applied for amex plat online - they said 10 days approval time. Would really like to get the card before 1st of Jan so I can use the concierge service. Have been offered plat 4-5 years ago but declined at the time. Income/Credit check/Assets etc are all stellar. What time does it...
