anyone managed to get supplementary card on their own name recently ?? i applied online for it and get a call back and informed it's not possible...
I applied for an 'a/c' card (i.e. 'Joe blogs a/c') over the phone was very easy. Allows you to split say personal and work expenses. They call it an additional card.
I already had Platinum Charge and Reserve cards when I applied for the Explorer. After I received the Explorer card for myself and a Supplementary card for my Wife that I applied for when putting in the card application around 5 weeks ago I called the Platinum phone number and asked about getting Supplementary cards for our Son, as well as for each of us so we'd have two cards each. I said I would like two cards for each of us so I can keep work expenses separate from personal. I was told that for myself and my Wife it's a separate request they submit for "Additional Cards" rather than as a Supplementary. Our original cards just had our initials and I requested that the additional cards have our full name, which they do, so we can easily differentiate between them. They are all listed as Supplementary cards when I log in to my account.
thanks for your prompt reply, albyd and Ken1
so it's best to call and ask for additional card instead of supplementary card.. do you get another phone call to verify for the additional card ?
I didn't get another call. The operator I spoke to said he would submit the request for additional cards and they arrived six days later.
I judt applied for supp cards
I was told the max is 4. I asked if the 5k bonus was still on they said no. Maybe twice a year. I said I'd wait and the guy said I'd miss out on all the offers in between then.
So I applied for 4 relatives (real ones)
I hope they don't ask for ID because it's a pain to ask them.
I thought the max was 5.
Oh well. 4 on the way
I didn't use fake names just in case they ask for proof
after i've submitted the supplementary card application online (one for myself and another one on my mom's name), i got a callback few days later asking for ID..
Well I managed to ring up and have my Explorer delinked from my existing Plat Edge Ascent Account (arrived automatically linked). It was no drama and the operator was super helpful, however couldn't do it on the spot, saying it would take 3 to 5 days. No reference at all to points or inability to collect the sign up bonus. I guess I'll need to wait until the split has happened then hit the spend requirement! Here's hoping it all goes to plan!

You would have to be an idiot to request a financial instrument under a fake identity.

A lot of people have for supp cards. Some have put their own names but different spelling. Some have made it up
i hear where you are coming from, I am more willing to do that since ,the account is completely my responsbility so if it gets used by the person who I gave it to without my permission ive only got myself to blameAll power to them, then. I'm not a magistrate or an ASIC investigator.
I wouldn't recommend this kind of action to anyone, personally. There are some ways that we skirt rules or the like. I draw the line on financial instruments under false or dishonest identities.
just called to relink my cards after getting the bonus and was told to use up all the gateway pts as they can't be transferred over (american call centre)
i think the ship has sailed..
i might call again next sunday if i remember, otherwise the pts will be going to SPG
How many points would you get if you were to transfer them to SPG? Is it 82,500 based on 110MR Gateway? If so I'll probably do the same thing
110k MR = 55k SPG, if im not wrong..
110k MR = 55k SPG, if im not wrong..

How is it worked out like that if 4 MR points = 3 Frequently point?
