Our Verdict
Better than the recent 130,000 point bonus. I suspect this won’t show up for everybody and it should show even if using a referral link but again won’t always show. Fantastic deal if you’ve never had the Business Platinum before (if you have you won’t get the sign up bonus). Will add this to the best credit card bonuses. As always you can read more about American Express cards here. There is also an increased offer of 90,000 on the business gold (possibly even higher).
Hat tip to TheTaxman_cometh
Does anyone have some contacts for high level support at American Express? I’m a business platinum cardholder and getting exhausted trying to get Amex to properly link the card and my amex business account together for the enhanced benefits
DP — I received a 140K after $10k spend upgrade offer from my Biz Gold. I think I’ll bite due to the lower spend requirement.
Since I have to hold for 12-months, I know Amex refunds/prorates the AF if done within 30-days of hitting — can anyone confirm this is also true for business cards?
I’ve also technically not held the Biz Gold for 12-months from that sign-up offer, but since this is being offered as an upgrade I’m assuming they will not claw back those points?
Is this new (see term d)

Any latest datapoints for retention offers? I have tried chatting with the retention team three times today and they have not been available all the three times on chat. Weird!
ditto, albeit I called instead and was told nothing was available the last few days. first time asking for a retention for this card and best they offered was to open a new biz gold for 100k or bbp for 50k to recoup the fees, instead of the usual retention spiel. was willing to keep if offered even $100. card was closed.
Yeah. No retention offer for me as well. Closed the card.
I’m new to having a P2/AU, does their spend count towards the SUB? I was going to sign up my P2 as the primary and be her AU but do 90% of the spending.
Generally, yes, AU spend does count towards SUB.
A known exception is US Bank.
Incognito with VPN on brave browser mobile got the 170k with 15k spend offer
Just a heads up, TPG’s links currently have the 150k offer…support them at your own risk though.
I was logged out, cleared my cache, and was able to get the 170k off 15k spend offer on the AMEX Biz Plat.
Yeah it took me a couple dozen tries but I got the 170k offer the same way.
FYI called in and got 170K off 15k spend, plus additional 10k off 1k spend by AU. Can use no fee green card for AU. So 180k off 16k in total is currently available.

This offer is not available if you already have this Card or had it in the past. We may also consider the number of American Express Cards you have opened and closed as well as other factors in making a decision on your welcome offer eligibility.
Do you reckon I can get this card with an average credit score of 740+ though I think my credit score just fell below 700 this month due to 40% utilization cause my limits are too low… also the business is like 2 days new, just got the EIN.
