Targeted Amex Platinum 100k MR points available

Go to cardmatch and see if you were targeted. I wasn't unfortunately. 

 

100k MR points is an amazing deal, well worth paying the first year annual fee of $450 even if you do not value any of the benefits at all.

the 100k plat and the 50k prg with 1 year af waived are both very good offers, but since i am an amex member already i am pretty sure i am not eligible for any kind signup bonuses in this life time.

No matches but usually you won't if you already gave one of their cards.  I'd love to get the 100K offer instead of the lame 40K they offer on their webpage

I am pretty sure the rule is one bonus per product per lifetime for personal cards and one bonus per two years per product for business cards. 

 

Verified the former part of this with rep by chat a while ago. It sounds weird to think that you can get one signup bonus for the entire Amex empire per lifetime.

well i have had horrible luck with any signup bonuses since i got my first card, so i assume its not an rule set in stone but for me personally I only get the public offers nothing better. I spent most of 2014 looking for the 50k PRG offer and it never came so i buckled and just went for EDP it was an better fit for me for the long term.

Yeah, while Amex cardholders may be eligible for additional offers on each new Amex product, I've also found that they have stopped targetting me ever since I got my first card with them. I want to kick myself for getting the BCE as my first Amex. If I had known better, I would have waited for the 100k Plat or 50k PRG offer to come my way.

 

Before my first Amex, I'd get stuff in the mail from them every month like clockwork almost. Now, I get nothing. Smiley Sad

Re: Targeted Amex Platinum 100k MR points available

I'm getting these offers on cardmatch. I believe my scores are in the 630-660 range. I feel like its marketing and I'm not actually pre-qualified. Is it worth a hard pull to see?

 

 

EDIT: I'm being offered the 50k gold card option, but only 60k for plat.
