Our Verdict
Different to the other 250k offer as this doesn’t require login. Great deal if you’re targeted, unfortunately still has lifetime language. If this is widely available we will add it to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

So, I have hit this sign up offer and paid the $695 annual fee, though I don't want to pay $695 for year two. Is there a downgrade path with Amex Plat that is similar to the Chase Reserve to Freedom Flex? I want to keep the account history if possible to put periodic spend on the account to help keep me out of pop up jail.
Any downgrade suggestions?
Got a mailed NLL offer to my home address, 250k MR after $20k spend, plus $500 statement credit after $2500 spend on flights booked with airlines or through Amex Travel in 3 months. Seems great, only catch is that this is for a previous business at my address. Can I apply safely with this RSVP code by changing business name and SSN, while keeping the address unchanged?
i did this 5 years ago with no issue
150K shows up
I posted this before last month - it worked for P2 just now. 4th lifetime business platinum.
Got it from danny deal guru

DEAD now as of March 10th
This worked for me too, after I had been getting pop-up blocked for a while on both NLL and non-NLL links. This is my 5th Biz Plat, but it has been almost a year since I closed the last one. It would have been more optimal to have at the beginning of a semester when I am paying for my kid's tuition, but maybe there will be one that I can snag at the end of summer as well.
Great link. THANK YOU! Worked liked a charm.
Used this link and it worked!!
I also used this link and was approved for 250k @ 15k spend. 2nd business platinum.
P2 applied using a 250k @ 15k via google search and got pop-up'd.
I used this link and was auto approved for 250k with $15k spend.
I am also able to replicate Business Gold with 200k bonus, even though there was LL but my card is approved and confirmed with representative that I will be eligible for the bonus one I meet requirement. Steps I followed,
Search for Personal Platinum card on mobile then I moved to Gold business section in the AMEX link that came from search.
Able to pull up 250k Plat and 200k Gold via Chrome Incognito windows 11.
after trying so many times to get the 250k to show up, they offered me 175k when I logged in today, NLL
I wasn't able to find any referral link across any sites to get this. Randomly scrolling my phone on a different WiFi, and saw the 250k offer pop up, the next day it was gone. Now today, can't find it, then in a different browser, from a Google search, it pops up.
Really random how the offer gets shown to you, but poke around, it's there. It likely won't be helpful, but this is the link I found it from the second time: https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/business/business-credit-cards/?inav=footer_cards_bus_crdt_crd
Looks dead. Can anyone provide a new link or confirm RIP?
I was able to get the 250k to show up with google search and clicking through to amex but p1 and p2 in PUJ :-(
what exactly did you search to get it to show up?
"american express business platinum" clicked first amex link
on Brave, not incog, no vpn
Does anyone have a working referral link for the 250k offer? All the listed links I checked are expired. Thanks in advance!
