The Platinum Card from American Express exclusively for Morgan Stanley is one of three Amex Platinum cards available to consumers. All three cards, along with the plain Amex Platinum and Schwab Amex Platinum, are different products. That means that you can get the welcome bonus even if you’ve had, or have, one of the other Platinum cards. Show
Additionally, the Morgan Stanley Platinum Card has some extra perks, such as the option to waive the annual fee (that just got much harder), free authorized user, and redeeming points for 1 cent each. You can read all about the card here, and check out the details of the offer below. The Offer
Card Highlights
American Express Membership Rewards points are worth 1 cent each when they’re redeemed into an eligible Morgan Stanley account. You can also redeem points to cover charges on your card, but you only get a value of 0.6 cents per point. ConclusionWith Morgan Stanley ending the Access Investing account, it is now harder to waive the annual fee on the Morgan Stanley Platinum Card. But even when paying the annual fee, this is a great deal and an option to get yet another bonus. The bonus alone is worth $1,250, and you can add one free Platinum authorized user. You then get all the perks of Amex Platinum such as Uber credits, Walmart+, entertainment credits, $200 airline credit, $200 hotel credit, CLEAR and Global Entry credits and more. The card also lets you redeem your Membership Rewards points at a value of 1 cent each. But the Schwab Platinum Card is a better option at 1.1 cents, and you can also get that same 1 cent value through the free Amex Business Checking account.
