Interesting Amex Offers

disaster13 — Wed, 14 Oct 2015 03:39:47 GMT

I've seen the posts about the 100,000 MR/3K offer for the Platinum Card and while I was trying to get it to show up in the Private Browser in Firefox, these showed up. I know they are not as lucrative as the Platinum offer but I believe they are nice offers for someone trying to get their foot in the door with the Green Card. Just thought I'd share

Never seen the green card having 25k MR rewards offer weird.. BTW the PRG has a 50k offer so the 25k offer is not ideal

Edit that is the gold card, not PRG.. PRG has the 50k offer and a better card IMO for a small fee difference

I completely agree. That was my first time ever seeing a bonus for the Green card

My sister gets a 25k offer for the green in the mail about 3x a week, but I've never seen a public one right on the site.

Never seen a points offer for the Green on Amex's website before, nor the Gold, for that matter. I think in the next year or two, the Issuers are going to compete very aggressively for new accounts. We should see some excellent bonuses towards the latter part of Q4 and Q1 of 2016.

This will be great for consumers. So, might be a good time to keep from app'ing now, and get ready for the next round.

I'd still go prg, even if the yearly fee is double. Travel once and you score the free check bag right?

MR is MR doesn't matter if you fly or stay home. Same points to group with the everyday card

If I could make my PRG look like the Green card, I would. It just looks timeless to me.

Anyway.... This is awesome to see. Maybe there will be some changes coming to MR or to the Green...

Remember folks.... Amex lets you use 1 experian inquiry and you can apply for 1 credit card but you could apply for more than 1 charge card!!! Wouldn't suggest that for a (re)builder but would be cool for churners.

Go for the green, PRG 50k, and 25k ED...and you have 100k MR for 4k spend, plus airline gift cards of course....

Right, and all no annual fee for the first year. With the once per lifetime consumer rule, Amex would love nothing more than for people to take them up on these offers.

Where is offer for the Green Card?

I've tried all the browser private surfing, clear cookies, clear cache and still no 25k points offer.

Do I have to login into my account?

Thanks.

https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/green/ in incognito mode/private browsing. You might need to close the window and re-open and navigate to this page a few times. I just got it to pop up after 3 tries.

I did that many times, still no offer points.

I'll try another laptop. Some people said sometimes is needed a new IP.

The offer for 25,000 points popped up right away for the green card. Is the Green card easier to get than the gold card?

It came up for me in the Firefox private browser. @m0213g all of Amex's charge cards have just about the same underwriting, just depends on which annual fee you are willing to pay

All fees are waived the first year too (except plat) so go for the highest offer you find and then downgrade or close.

With prg, a 50k offer is good, plus you'll get 100$ airline fee reimbursement.
