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
