[YMMV] American Express Personal Platinum 100,000 Points After $5,000 In Spend
The Offer
No direct link, see below
- Earn 100,000 Membership Rewards points after $5,000 in spend on the American Express Personal Platinum card
How To Get The Offer
This offer isn’t available to everybody and is a bit difficult to do. Try to follow these instructions and hope for the best:
- Clear browsing history/open a new incognito window
- Go to Baidu.com & search for American Express
- Click cards > Charge and Credit Card Offers > Check for offers
You want it to show you the offers without having to log in (let me know if it shows when you log in as well). If you see the 60,000 link then keep trying, people have gotten it to work even after initially seeing that the first time. This comment is also insanely helpful.

Our Verdict
Will this be treated like the leaked Platinum links and accounts frozen? I don’t see why it would be, but you never know with American Express these days. This offer also does include the once per lifetime language unfortunately. American Express is currently offering all types of incentives to sign up/keep the Platinum card. We’ve seen 50,000 retention bonuses, 60,000 point upgrade offers and targeted 60,000 point offers with no lifetime language.
This offer is basically as good as it gets for the American Express Platinum card and if you can get it to show, I’d sign up as long as you’re comfortable with the annual fee. As always read through these things everybody should know about American Express cards first.

60000 for me
Added this to the post: If you see the 60,000 link then keep trying, people have gotten it to work even after initially seeing that the first time.
thanks doc, I definitely intend to get this so will keep trying
Let me know if you have any success
did work last night after entering last four of social but then i screwed it up by waiting to long to apply and then it timed out, since then no luck
Are people who have been successful doing the “check for offers” where you fill in last four of social?
Yes, but they are seeing it when they don’t have to fill in that section.
I applied for the amex plat personal and got the 60K, but didn’t see your cool site until aftewards. do you think I can cancel my card (approved yesterday) and try the link as you suggested? Or is it too late?
Probably too late unfortunately
Thanks Jay! I did this today (1/6/19) and was able to get the targeted 100K offer, and my application has been officially approved. I listed my first and middle names together without a space and added an extra letter within my last name. In addition, I removed the spaces when listing my home address. I was able to correct the name on the credit card and address once the application page came up and will fix my name for the account once the application is processed. This is fantastic! I’ve tried multiple mechanisms to get the 100K but the most I was able to get to this point was 75K. I’m so glad this still works!
couldn’t see anything before logging in, after login saw 60k
This is night and day different than a leaked link
Agreed, but I just like to let readers know regardless.
60000 for me.
60K in both google chrome incognito and Firefox private window
Does this have once per lifetime language?
From the post: This offer also does include the once per lifetime language unfortunately
Thanks I missed that.
Not having any luck. Tried a few times. Anyone successful?
same here. only 60,000 – whether not logged in, logged in, or submitting partial personal info to solicit offers.
Any chance AMEX will “match” this offer like they have with the SPG and hilton. Those were public offers though.
You can try, American Express doesn’t match per se. They offer courtesy points instead. Goodluck!
Try VPN into china
Tried. Didn’t work.
after i go to the “Charge and Credit Card Offers” link, I don’t see “Check for offers” link anywhere
Using Chrome incognito mode, I can see “Earn up to 75,000 Membership Rewards® points Earn 50,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $10,000 and an extra 25,000 points after you spend an additional $10,000 all on qualifying purchases on the Business Platinum Card within your first 3 months of Card Membership.”
How/where is once in a lifetime worded? In Terms and Conditions?
Oops, this is business platinum card.
Ummm Baidu method’s been around right? Just got the 75k for $5k, but locked in the $450 AF, so I feel ok about it.
Yes it has, this exact offer is new.
gotcha
I got the 60,000 point after $5000 spend.
However, I also got the 50,000 point after $2000 spend on Amex PRG.
Got approved in one Click since I was already logged in.
Easiest application ever !!!
Thanks DoC.
How do I check these offers without it asking me to log in if I’m already a member?
Thanks!
