AmEx PRG 50k With $1,000 Spending

BronzeTrader — Sat, 16 Sep 2017 05:21:10 GMT

When checking offers, I see the PRG is offered at 50k with $1,000 spending. This is much lower than the $2,000 spending I've seen.

Very tempting. But plan to wait out for the 75k or 100K Platinum. With the once a lifetime, the offer should come back.

The Blue cards offers are good too.

I'm bummed. Got the PRG last week for 25K points with 2K spend. I'm going to wait a long time for the Platinum.

You can still do the PRG promotion and earn the Platinum bonus as well. It's one bonus a lifetime per product (PRG and PLAT are different products).

There have been 75k PRG offers. I don't recall the minimum spend.

I've never seen a 75K PRG offer.

Only seen 25K, 50K and 65K (second year).

I just stay low now and still have $4,000 spending to go with Barclay Cash Forward cards and family member's PRG. Then the $3,000 on BA Premium Rewards. Wait for holiday time to pick up either PRG or Plat. Want the 50k on PRG and either 75k or 100k on the Plat. Ritz is another option to add the spending.

Only one new card opened this year. The goal is 2-3 new cards a year. Family member can apply too.

gosh 50K/$1K is a heck of a deal, the high point on that card is 65K I think. I would snap it up, easy pickings. do a few ED referrals for 20K to make up the diff. I did 2 CIP referrals this week and got 40K. I love easy points

That really is a fantastic deal. You can easily get 2 cents value per point transferring to airlines. That makes it a 100% rewards rate on the bonus.

I wish I'd found this first. I'm working on 50K points on my new PRG but I have to spend $2K to get it.

How do you get this offer? I don't have this offer up on my page. Wondering if you have to be selected or what for this offer?

I got the 25K/2K last year when I got the PRG. Started the 2K spend 07/15/2017 and have until 10/15/2017. Almost done.

How did you manage that? Typically the deal is you have to meet the minimum spend within 3 months from your approval date.

American Express builds in a few extra days from the approval date to allow for shipping; @Anonymous has mentioned this before in another thread.

I also think you can call/chat with Amex and they can tell you when your exact deadline is for meeting the bonus spend.

True but I think @MrDisco99 was referring to macman's statement that he got the bonus 'last' year and then gives dates from this July to October. At least I think so.

Yeah, it was weird. I initially got a 50K/3K offer for 3 months spend when I got the card, with an additional 25K/2K 3 months spend at a later date. I was concerned at first thinking I would forget about the additional spend requirements, but Amex actually sent me a reminder email.
