Our Verdict

The Resy deal is 25k less points, but you earn 15x instead of 10x. If you’re in two player mode then you’ll be better off using a referral if you have the 45,000 referral offer. So many different variations of this Platinum offer at the moment. Will add this to the best credit card bonuses.
