Amex really wants DW to get Platinum.

This is my wife's second in less than a year from Amex for her to apply for the Platinum Card both with 100k offer with 3k spend in 3 months.  What is actually more impressive is the literature then sent with it.  It is a much as then sent when I got the welcome packet after approval of my PRG and more than they sent her with her first pre-approval.

 

I honesty which I could upload a picture of the packet.

lol - easy way to see just how badly they want her to have it - simply ask them to drop the AF, it's just marketing Smiley Wink and with a $495 AF, they can afford to send out nice stuff

amex seems to love your DW. She is getting an lot of nice offers. Has she done anything special to get these offers. I am just curious since i am still trying to get targeted offer for the PRG.

You know I didn't think to call in to apply.  I have always done all my apps online.  If they did drop the AF I would tell her she should apply otherwise she will just throw out the app like she always.

LOL,  I know you have been looking for that offer that is the offer that made apply for the PRG.  I don't think she is doing anything special she is and was a AU on both my Amex EDP and PRG before I cancelled   However she does spend more on the Amex a month than I do which I don't know if that helps I have heard that can actually lead to a FR. 

 

When I got my PRG 50k offer it was shortly after I opted in to offers on the opt-in opt-out website.

between 100k MR signup, and the 200$ airline credit (x2, since it's 2014 and 2015 on that annual fee) it is totally worth it to apply. Just saying.

I have been opted in ever since i got my BCP last october. I have gotten the standard 25k offer from PRG, and an 150 dollar offer for BCE i believe. Those aren't any that i would use my lifetime signup bonus on !!! I put an fair amount of my spending thru my BCP, all groceries and gas when i don't have 5 % categories . I am not going to risk an FR just for an prg offer lol. If worse comes to work later in the year I will just look at EDP. 15k isn't the best offer but its fine since i probably would keep that card for an while. 

 

Guess patience will be key here for me. I just want to get PRG so i can start apping for other cards , since it will nearly double my AAOA.

Yes, American Express has created quite an empire and "Dear Wives" have a lot to do with it.
