Hi,
If I apply for Amex Platinum now (Sept 5th), would still be able to avail lower annual fee? Or you think my annual fee will posted after September 26th and I will end up paying higher annual fee.
Yes you would get the lower annual fee, making it a great time to apply:
Essentially you don’t pay any fee, and in fact have a gain of $50, not even mentioning the welcome bonus.
