Are You Eligible If You’ve Had Another Flavor Of The Platinum Card?
American Express issue a lot of different versions of the Platinum card (you can view them all here). In the past people have been succesfully in getting the bonus on different versions of the platinum card, but I did see a few recent datapoints (during the last 100,000 point offer) of this not being the case.
Our Verdict
Incredible offer, but obviously with some risk involved. I assume most people won’t be eligible due to the once in a lifetime limitation as well. Read these things you should know about American Express before applying.
