There is no entitlement to claim a cash payment. There is no right to appeal Membership Rewards points cannot be credited for any rejected card applications, additional cards, secondary cards or cards that were applied using a card application process other than the online card application process for the Platinum Card and without the personal promotion code (recommendation code) being entered. The points are credited within 8 weeks at the latest after the recommended Platinum Card is issued and requires card use. Points will be granted no more than once per recommended person.
