Your Liability: You understand that by responding to this offer you agree to be personally responsible for payment of all balances incurred on all cards and accounts issued to you or employee cardmembers pursuant to this application now or whenever such additional accounts may be established in the future.

Based on this review, you may receive a Platinum card with different costs and benefits and without the no pre-set spending limit feature, or you may not receive a card. We may request additional information for a revolving credit amount or credit line, as applicable, above $25,000.
If an account is approved, all cardmembers will have access to 100% of, as applicable, the approved revolving credit amount and any amount over the revolving credit amount that we authorize, or the approved credit line. If you would like to set spending limits on any cardmembers, please contact our Cardmember Service Department after the account has been opened.
