Now I am normal reserve status and the card renewal is coming up. I definitely don't need to keep the card if I have to pay that fee (as much as I like the airport lounges and Audible subscription). I've had a tough time getting a clear answer from American Express. Would appreciate any insight from reservists who have had this card, thank you!Is the AmEx Platinum card's annual fee waived for reservists?2022-05-26T18:22:46-04:00CPL Private RallyPoint Member7697462<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was on active orders (IMT) when I first got the card, so they waived the $500 fee for the first year.
