  • American Express is offering up to 200,000 points on the Business Platinum card. Two different offers:

    • 200,000 points after $15,000 in spend

  • Card earns at the following rates:
    • 5x points per $1 spent on purchases made with airlines or hotels booked directly from AmericanExpress Travel website
    • 1.5x points on qualifying purchases of $5,000 or more
    • 1x points on all other purchases
  • $200 airline incidental credit per calendar year
  • Lounge access:
    • Centurion lounge access
    • International American Express lounge access

  • SoulCycle benefits

Our Verdict

Not as good as the 250,000 offer that is still showing. The advantage to this offer is that it doesn’t have lifetime language so you can get the bonus even if you’ve had the card before. High annual fee but the lounge benefits can be worth it for some people, especially when it comes with this healthy of a sign up bonus.

Does Amex come after you for SUB if you use it to fund a bank account like US Bank biz checking for $3k?

I currently have the Amex Business Plat for about 6 months now, and just received in the mail an offer 150k for 20k spend, 500 statement credit for 2500 spend on flights. Am I ok to apply for a second business plat card?

Is Amex still policing MS aggressively?

A Classic Textbook AMEX Waste of Time!

Active business account with AMEX for online sales and other active side gigs. Also have a 1 AMEX blue cash and 1 Business Hilton for the last 2 years both with active monthly spend. Also have a business checking account holding around $2k in it monthly.

Saw the 200,000 business plat offer when I logged in when curious about cards. I closed a personal platinum in June of 2017 8 years ago. Added a little information for this business card, clicked submit, and received “you are not eligible for this offer”. Come’on MFs, why even show it then?

I got 150K points for $20K spend over 3 months. If they extended this for four months I probably would take it. But for me, $20K is marginal.

be aware that AMEX is giving high signup bonus and at certain points, they close all your accounts with vague reasons (non-compliance or indicia of misuse) and forfeit all your points with no annual fee refund …. They’ve actively done this since April!

I’ve been getting these offers on my main page like crazy. I had one Business Platinum with an initial sign up bonus for 250,000 points and once I’ve had it for maybe a couple of months another popup shows up every time I login that gave me a 250,000 if I apply for a second card. The popup was so frequent that I said, screw it, I’ll apply and low and behold, I got the second bonus. I just logged in again and guess what, a 200,000 popup shows up. How many times should I do this? I did close one of the two cards and paid the annual fee on the card that is still open.

I had that last year. Ended up with 3 Biz Platinums, and 1 Pers.

I had that two years ago but since then, it’s been dry. P2 had a Biz Plat offer for 150k but we didn’t pull the trigger.

Do links like this bypass PUJ in cases where the PUJ isn’t for holding the same card before, and is just a more general PUJ?
