I really wish I could apply for this :(

darwin_wins — Sun, 24 Jul 2016 04:21:23 GMT

I am not prequalified and my EX is not up there but I really want this offer. This only appeared when I went incognito in FF. Why can't I have nice things

Interesting offer. This seems like a smarter way of allocating points for AMEX, it's a good way to get people to retain their cards for year two and pay the fee.
The 50k offer is better imo, and i'm glad I got it because now I have so little use for the card that I plan to cancel before the fee hits. Now i'm just looking to see the best way to use my 55k points before then.

I would keep this card if I had it. My EX score is just 670 and I also have their Optima card for less than a year so I don't know if I will get it.

4K in one year is easy to spend and 2K in 3 months is not that difficult. If only I could this.. this hurts my head

There is a better 100K MR offer for Platinum, I would hold off for Platinum but definitely get PRG if I could

You should app, remember their charge cards are easier to get than revolvers. Also if you have an amex it's a sp if denied only a hp if approved, most of the time.

I decided my next Amex will only be a Platinum so I'll be patiently waiting for the 100k offer. I've gotten the 65K PRG offer and the 75K platinum offer a few times but never the 100k Platinum..

Yea I would also wait for AmEx 100K MR offer. I just hope it doesn't come at the same time I go for PRG. I don't MS and all my usage is organic so I can't spend 5k in 3 months on AmEx.

I recently receive the PRG card. I went to look at the Platinum benefits and there was a box inviting me to apply for an upgrade (I was logged in). That surprised me.

Newbie question – where are you all seeing these offers? What is "FF" in the first post? Are you all AmEx members and logged into the online banking site or something?

Re: I really wish I could apply for this :(

Firefox. That's what I was referring to. If I try prequalify all it says is login. And when I look up offers they are the standard ones but when you use incognito mode AmEx will show non standard offers like this one. If I apply using that link shown in the picture they will have to honor that offer if they approve me.

Could you post the link? I can't find the 65k offer at all

I'm still not sure why so many of you get that login thing. I was able to get 100k Platinum and 50k PRG as an existing member just the same as before being one...

Apply for it anyways! I just got the PRG and My other AMEX's weren't a year old yet. I sucked out with just the 25,000 MR bonus for 2k in 3 months...

I have their recovery product called Optima. I am not sure if AmEx will approve me, they had explicitly stated that I won't be approved for anything for first year when I accepted Optima.

I am only couple of months away, first I will ask for CLI and then in Oct I will apply for PRG. Also now I have heard rumors about Chase coming out with a possible new card (Reserve) so I want to get my first Chase and at this point I am 4/24 (including one AU I am on so possibly 3/24 and in Sept it will be 3/24 or 2/24 depending on how Chase looks at AU account).

I will wait it out till I can get CSP or their newer card.

AU's aren't counted in the 5/24 rule, but, by all means, stack up on the Chase cards for that very reason.

darwin_wins — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 16:08:04 GMT

I hope so, then I am 3/24 at this point. By next July I would be 0/24 if don't apply anything for one year but most likely will. So I might be 2/24 by next year
