What if anything can you do to trigger upgrade offer from Amex

I'm wondering what Amex looks at when deciding whether or not to issue you an offer to upgrade your card. For example, I currently have the green amex charge card which I won't keep beyond the first year, but I'd love if they offered me a chance to upgrade to the personal plat card with a signup incentive. I already had the personal plat in the past so I can't get the bonus again and I would find the benefits of the card useful for travel next year.

Re: What if anything can you do to trigger upgrade offer from Amex

The CARD Act prohibits financial institutions from increasing your annual fee for the 12 months of an account's life. Starting with your 13th month, you will likely be solicited for an upgrade to either Gold or Platinum. At that 13th month, you can also call in and a customer care professional will be happy to see if there's an upgrade offer to Platinum on your account.
