AmEx Platinum pays you $600 a year to have it, why not have multiple? Especially with the $550 annual fee waived for military members per the SCRA.
AmEx will not let you apply for another card that you already own, this goes for multiple Platinum Cards. However you can product change to multiple cards you already own after one year. For example you can get the AmEx Platinum, spend $5k in 3 months for 60,000 MR points:
Then get the AmEx green, spend $1,000 in 3 months for 15,000 points:
Then in one year from getting the green, call and product change it to another Platinum for another $200 in flights, $200 in Uber, $100 for global entry, and $100 for Saks 5th Ave credit. The SCRA waiver will continue to cover the new $550 annual fee.

Does this do a hard pull on your credit?
The new card di s, but the product change does not.
Not necessarily for the new card either. My last 3-4 charge cards have been without a hard pull.
Damn guess I shouldnt have cancelled my Green card when it was sitting uselessly on my AmEx account after getting the bonus.
I had one ten years ago that I closed, but they still gave me a bonus!
