Our Verdict
This is by no means the best we’ve seen on the Platinum card; we’ve seen 100k or even 150k offers on Platinum business card, but remember, those big offers often need $20k spend.
More interestingly, this offer doesn’t seem to have the once-per-lifetime language, and it should work for someone who already got the bonus on this card.
Personally, I never got the bonus on Business Platinum and the link worked for me, but I’m going to hold out for a better offer. If you already got the bonus before, it’s something to consider, especially if you want Platinum benefits.
There’s a similar offer for the Business Gold Rewards with 75,000 points which also doesn’t show the lifetime language which I recently did.

Just got emailed this offer.
Thanks William – would this app count towards Chase 5/24?
Amex business cards do not report: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/which-business-credit-cards-report/#Amex
how do i apply for a business card without having a registered business and tin?
You can apply with your SSN as a sole proprietor
I keep getting a “our systems are down” message when logging in from this link. Tried several times over the last 24 hrs. Anybody else?
That’s what I’m getting, too, on both the Gold and Platinum offers. DR? What does this mean? (secretly quite sure this means I’m not eligible)
Adam, Trevor, that probably means ineligible
Given that this is a targeted offer I don’t see this blowing up in our faces like the 100k leaked link did (that worked for everyone).
I think at this point though anyone chasing an Amex bonus should dot their i’s and cross their t’s. Don’t buy cash equivalents, don’t load Serve, do not pass go without making sure 100% of your spend passes the test.
Agreed, this is pretty different than the 100k leaked link IMO
Points still frozen after 98 days of hitting min spend! Amex is the greatest!
Not again!
My thoughts exactly.
I second that. 109 days after minimum spend hit. STILL, points frozen. LIVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the reports throughout 2016 about Amex cracking down on MS….did you think you were immune? Don’t get the card if you can’t do the spend.
yayyy, so they can then freeze your mr points for at least 95 days after hitting your minimum spend, gladly pocket the annual fee, give absolutely the worst customer service when calling them to inquire when your points will be unfrozen, only to find out in the end their will never be an actual human being that can or will tell you that info. 🙂 Thats where I am right now, folks. It’s still 95 days after hitting minimum spend and points STILL FROZEN and even highest supervisor says “just keep trying to redeem them until someday they work. HONEST TO GOD, thats all they can tell me at this point. DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS. SCREW AMEX
Sounds like you did some shady things with Amex. Cant blame them for freezing your points.
Yea 150k offer is still out there. I got a mailer for it in early August and seen multiple DPs saying the same. It’s 100k after 5k spend and 50k after another 10k.
Amex is clamping down on MS so that 15k has to be largely organic spending.
