Our Verdict

The previous incognito mode offer for this card was also 75,000 points but a spend requirement of $7,000. We’ve seen targeted offer on this card as high as 150,000 points. There was also the leaked 100,000 point leaks with only $3,000 in spend (although these lead to point balances being frozen).

75,000 points after $5,000 spend isn’t a bad offer and it could make sense for somebody that wants the Platinum benefits in the short term. I doubt we will see a public 100,000 link again and if we do it’ll either be leaked (leading to frozen accounts) or have a much higher minimum spend requirement. I’d be more likely to recommend this offer if American Express bonuses were not once per lifetime. Here is a list of things everybody should know about American Express cards.

I think the link is dead. It was working earlier today but I was going to apply now. Anyone else able to see the link?

Just signed up for this, it is still live!

I can’t make 10k worth of purchases without MS, but the 5k is manageable with property taxes that are due in April.

I received an email for 100k after $10k spend. I already have the Platinum card and the lifetime language is included in the offer.

Just got in on this one. Yeahh!

I originally got approved on the leaked 100k offer but cancelled it because i had a bad feeling they will come after me for having the platinum benz card. I hope this one goes under the radar…

A simpler question:

If I log in and I go to “my cards”, then to all cards. and I see bonus promos on cards I have had in the past, are these legit for ME? Because I have had reps tell me I CANNOT have another bonus on a card I have had before even though I got an invite to apply (for the new one).

So, IF I am still under my account profile thread line and see the DL Amex (that I had over 4 years ago) and it offers a bonus with approval, will I have to fight Amex later after meeting minimum spend?

Best wishes on the Plat to all. I don’t have a tax write off for that AF. Thanks for reading.

Applied this along with the 50k gold card. Approved instantly for both. Have few hospital bills and international travel to meet the minimum. Thanks!

Hope you are better! 🙂

Love your thinking. It’s not about MS every single time, IMHO. 🙂
