Have you heard what the requirements for the "Platinum" card are? Besides
the $250 yearly fee you must:

	- have been an American Excess cardmember for at least 2 years.
	- charged at least $10,000 per year on your card.
	- have had your account in good standing all the time.
	- be "invited" to join. You won't see any Platinum applications at your
	  local bank.

They make some vague rumblings about "unlimited personal financial freedom".
Right. Has anyone every seen one of these? Who is going to pay $250 a year
for a charge card?
