Our Verdict
This has been 50,000 points for some time, now we are seeing an increased offer of 75,000 points. It is possible to get 100,000 points without upgrading but the advantage to an upgrade offer is the ability to get the bonus even if you’ve had the card before. Not hugely surprising to see this increased offer given the 125,000 points on the personal Platinum that some are seeing (regular offer, not upgrade).
If you have any questions about upgrade offers, please read this post before asking any questions. General American Express questions are likely answered here.
