CardMatch/AmEx Pre-Qual Offering Some People 100,000 Points On American Express Platinum

Update 8/13/20: More people targeted. Hat tip to reluctant_swimmer22

The Offer

Direct link to offer or here

  • Some readers have received and offer of 100,000 points after $5,000 in spend within the first three months on the American Express personal Platinum card when checking CardMatch for pre-approved offers. Also make sure you’re choosing view ‘All Matches’ not just pre-qualified offers, you’ll see this option in the left sidebar (Categories > Pre-qualified/CardMatch Special Offers/All Matches)

Card Details

Our Verdict

It’s always a good idea to regularly check for pre-approved offers as often they have higher than normal bonuses such as this. Obviously no guarantee you’ll see this offer, in fact I imagine most people won’t. If this doesn’t work, you can also try getting the offer another way. 100,000 points after $5,000 in spend is usually as good as the offers get on the personal Platinum card, although they sometimes have targeted offers for 150,000 points after $10,000 in spend but those are quite rare. Keep in mind this does have a big annual fee of $550, but you do get the Uber and airline credits as well as good lounge access. As always read through these things everybody should know about American Express cards first. It might also make sure to check American Express directly for pre-approved offers.

Weird, it can’t find my credit profile on credit match. This is the first time this ever happened to me. I entered both current and old addy’s, regular/incognito/VPN, no dice.

Strange, no Credit One offers for me but I got a bunch of Citi offers and nothing else. At least Citi loves me again, nobody else does.

Same here only citi offers. Does it mean we’re prequalified for them or is just like those credit karma matches?

AFAIK, this are not truly prequal offers but they should carry a much better likelihood of approval than credit karma’s completely random matches.

Checked cardmatch today via incognito and finally got the 100K after $5K spend in 3 months offer. Says pre-approved as well, but apply and see.

I haven’t checked CardMatch in a few months, but it appears you are now required to provide an email address to check for offers. Previously it was optional.

125k offer for my wife last week. It had showed up late last year as well but we didn’t sign up then. Had been checking monthly since then & didn’t hesitate to sign up immediately this time. Was an offer directly on AmEx site.

I see Credit One Bank offers in my cardmatch search. They do have a card that has 5% cash back each year on certain categories though, so I might apply for that.
