Can I be a authorized user on my spouse’s Amex platinum card if I have an Amex platinum card as well ? Looking for ways to maximize the welcome bonus

I’m not sure why you want to be an authorized user and pay the fee if you already have your own account. Your spouse should just ask for a duplicate card that you can use if you’re trying to hit the spend for a bonus.

I don’t see why not.

Agreed - I don’t know what you mean by added welcome bonus - there are no additional benefits beyond what she likes. I guess if you mean you can spend towards the total as opposed to just using hers sure 

For Amex platinum, you pay $75 to get 3 additional platinum cards (comes with their own priority pass but the credits are shared amongst all the cards). Or you can get a free gold card (not to be confused the the Amex Gold Card) that is just a regular authorized user card.

It’s $175... very steep if you already have the Amex plat
