Sign-up Bonuses

CL's and Mods will determine where the line is and OP did not inject the term MS into this thread as usual someone else injected that issue

So that aspect will now be discontinued 

Thanks

MJ

To answer OP question yes its done by some including myself to some extent 

In my case I look for cards with 2 aspects in this order 

1) Bonus 

2) can I get some use out of the card over the course of the next year before the AF becomes due

I wasn't advocating anything in my original post. My post was more of a curiosity question to see what people here considered the norm, and possible pros and cons. That's all.

I understand that, I was just sounding a note of caution. That's why I also answered your question.

If no one other than mods can comment on other people's behavior as it relates to rules, what exactly are you doing here if not saying my behavior isn't appropriate?

Since you commented 

Lets be clear 

No need to inject MS terms in every thread you respond to .....no one else saw or read anything related to that but you and it happens a lot 

I'm known for my honesty and telling it like it is ....It stops NOW....No more slipping into conversation that end in someones thread being locked 

Thanks

Well, okay, if it's the term that's causing the headache, I have removed it from my first reply.

Sorry your thread headed off course but it will now be restored to the question asked

I signed up with the AMEX Platinum due to the 100k offer for the bonus, but outside of this, there are benefits I can use over the next year.  Once the AF becomes due, I likely will let it go since I go for what gives me the most points (and I already have the PRG) and I'm just not as high end as I need to be to use some of the perks the card has to offer to justify it longer than the first year.
