Update 7/13/26: The 300k offer is now the standard offer on the AmEx website and google search, etc. Again, this is for ‘up to 300,000’. In practice, you’ll see what they offer you after doing the initial submission step (no hard pull) and can then decide whether to proceed.
Update 6/14/26: Bumping this post since I’m now seeing 300,000 without issues in all browsers. Just go incognito to avoid cookie issues. YMMV, it might be area-dependent. Note: even if it shows ‘up to 300k’ for you, there’s a high likelihood that on the final screen before accepting they’ll offer you less.
Update 3/31/26: Got 300,000 point offer to show up first try in incognito mode. Hat tip to FM
Update 11/12/25: 300,000 point offer seems to be populating more often than before.
The Offer
No direct link, try this link incognito and in a regular browser and see if it shows for you (try Chrome)
- Signup for the American Express Business Platinum card and get 300,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $20,000 in eligible purchases on your Card within the first 3 months of Card Membership.
- Others are seeing 250,000.

Our Verdict
I’ve seen more than one person claim to have seen the 300,000 offer out there. Many readers in the comments here are getting the 250k offer to show. Both of these are much better than the standard 200,000 offer.
Personally, I’ve been able to generate the 250,000 points offer multiple times by trying various browsers, incognito, mobile phone, etc. Unfortunately, I got hit with pop-up jail so I canceled the application.
anybody tried spending the required $20k by opening CU checking accounts and funding them with the Amex? Some of those CU allow you to fund 5k or up to 10k. One would just need to open two or three of those to meet with the $20k. Just wondering if that can work.
Did AMEX change sign up bonus info to after hitting submit application? I did the preapproval, got preapproved, but was not told what the SUB was. Chatted agent and said have to hit submit to see.
Just apply anyway. If they want to give you the card they will ignore that
Yeah if you are already an Amex customer they don’t do a hard pull,
They are going to check your ssn.
Do they check for our SSN or EIN of the company? I filed bankruptcy with them in 2021
Just a few days ago my welcome offer was only 250k but today I logged in & saw I got the 300k Welcome Offer (No “Up to 300k” language)… Approved & Accepted!
If the reflection were of a white guy, would you be asking if one of them is a white guy? Reflect on that.
It’s catch as catch can. I cancelled my last Business Platinum about a year and a half ago. This offer HAS lifetime language and I should not be ineligible. I landed on the 300k offer page. Using the same business tax ID number, I was granted a 150k offer and was approved. So “might not be eligible” seems highly variable. But, you never get a hit if you don’t swing the bat. Best of luck.
What are you talking about lol
As soon as they identify you the 300K drops.
Water, sewer, electricity, natural gas, garbage, or any other utilities you have. My utilities allow me to over pay, so I can essentially have three or four months of usual bills sitting on my account as a credit that rolls off monthly. Check with your local utility before doing this.
Pay 20k in taxes.
Can you qualify for this offer on a new EIN or is the lifetime offer limit based on one’s personal SS#?
Why is the reflection on the Plat card a black guy? Are one of you guys black?
lol
He clicked it 2x harder!
You are part of the problem by taking it
what makes it v2?
As high as usually means a lot lower at least from what I’ve seen.
Gift cards definitely won’t work, most bank bonuses probably won’t work, so the easy stuff with no premium attached is out. You can always use plastiq. It’s not MS but it opens up an option to pay rent/mortgage, contractors, and certain bills CC.
Yes AmEx only doesn’t count towards minimum spend
What’s different about v2?
500 – System Error. Maybe because I am in Asia.
Is this Amex only? Worked for my CSR a couple weeks ago.
can confirm
Not anymore doesn’t count towards msr now
Got 150k and decided to just take it. I had a ton of MR and so will get a lot of use from the 35% rebate as well as the FHR credits, so decided to just bite the bullet. Now if a 300k NLL offer comes back around soon and I get screwed by 1/90, I will be really sad!
It’s probably just auto-correct like when a priest and a rabbit walk into a bar.
Was able to get 300k with BBTv2
