The Offer
- Get approved for the Amex Platinum card and receive 100,000 Membership Reward points after spending $3000.
The standard offer is 40,000. To get this offer, you need to go to the above link incognito. After a number of incognito sessions, you should get it to show. Be sure to verify that the offer is still showing on the main application page as some report that after clicking ‘apply now’ the offer on the screen changes to the standard 40k offer.
The Fine Print
- Must spend $3,000 within 3 months
- $450 annual fee, not waived the first year
Our Verdict
This offer has been circulating the blogosphere for a few hours now (I was offline for the past while). I just tried it out now (8 PM EST) and was able to get the offer to show. (Instant approval. Yay!)
If you can get the offer to show, it’s really unbeatable. The standard offer is just 40 and the occassionally higher targeted offers usually have a higher spend threshold.
The card also has an airline reimbursement of $200 which you can easily get twice within the first year (2015 and 2016) and this can help offset the annual fee.
We’ve also written about a similar way to get the Business Gold 75k offer to show by going incognito. People have been having success with that one as well recently.
