The Offer
- Flyertalk user highops reports receiving a sign up bonus of 10x American Express Membership Rewards points on all purchases (with a maximum of 150,000 points earned) on the American Express Platinum card.
The Fine Print
- Doesn’t include the exclusion about not being eligible if you’ve ever received a sign up bonus on this card before.
Our Verdict
The American Express Platinum card normally earns 1x on all purchases, you could look at this offer as a sign up bonus of 135,000 points after $15,000 in spend (as you’d earn 1x points on the base spend). But realistically it’s better than that as you’d still receive 10x points even if you didn’t hit the $15,000 spending requirement.
Some people have been able to get similar offers to show online, either through the American Express pre-qualified checker or by using CardMatch. I highly doubt that this offer will show on either of those portals (especially without the exclusion language). Keep an eye on your mail I guess. If anybody receives this offer, let us know in the comments as to your thoughts why you might have received it.
