Our Verdict
We’ve have seen the same upgrade bonus of 150,000 points in the past, but usually it’s  75,000 or 100,000 points. The good thing about upgrade offers is that you can get the bonus even if you’ve had the card before, that’s usually not possible. For more information about upgrade offers in general I’d recommend reading this post. We recently saw a bonus of 130,000 points & a free night certificate as a sign up bonus, so if you haven’t had this card before I’d recommend waiting for a better straight up sign up bonus. If you have had this card before then I’d recommend doing this upgrade offer.
