Our Verdict

You can get a bonus of 100,000 without upgrading. The advantage to upgrading is that you should be able to get the bonus even if you’ve had the Business Platinum before. If that’s you and you’re targeted then this offer is worth considering as normally you wouldn’t be able to get the bonus again. Just keep in mind the $595 annual fee. That’s partially offset by the $200 airline credit and other benefits (e.g lounge access) but still might not be worth it for some especially if you already have another variation of a Platinum card. Spend requirement of $10,000 might also be difficult for a lot of readers to meet.

If you have any questions about upgrade offers, please read this post before asking any questions. General American Express questions are likely answered here.

Was Biz Gold account less than one year old? If so, after the upgrade were both annual fees prorated for the first year?

Oops, didn’t see this until now. Yes, less than one year (opened 1/2/23). Both annual fees prorated and plan to cancel in a few months when the full plat fee hits.

Has anyone got an upgrade offer from the biz green to play? Or it has to be from gold to plat?

Given I have multiple current Amex business cards (Gold, Platinum, and Blue Biz Plus), when using the links above, how would I tell which account is being upgraded? I’d want to upgrade the Biz Gold to get a 2nd Biz Platinum, but not sure how to tell.

Can’t triple dip on airline credits. But might be able to do an extra dip on dell credits.

does the “you should keep an account open at least 12 months” rule restart after an upgrade like this? or is it ok to downgrade/cancel the card after bonus posts?

Wasn’t really expecting a hard pull for this since it’s not a new account. Oh well, I’ll take the 140k MR.
