Our Verdict

Very good upgrade offer, standard is 75,000 points. Nice thing about these upgrade offers is that they don’t have lifetime language so you can get the bonus even if you’ve held the card before. If you’ve never held the card before you will probably prefer the 150k point offer currently available.  If you have any questions about upgrade offers, please read this post before asking any questions. General American Express questions are likely answered here.
