The Offers
Looks like American Express has recently begun targeting more (and new) people for the following offers when you check if you’ve got any pre-approved offers for them:
- American Express Platinum: 100,000 Membership Rewards points after $3,000 in spend within the first three months
- AmEx EveryDay Preferred: 30,000 Membership Rewards points after $2,000 in spend within the first three months
- Premier Rewards Gold American Express: 50,000 Membership Rewards points after $1,000 in spend within the first three months

Getting The Offers
There are two ways you might be able to find these offers:
- Use the American Express pre-approved checker on the American Express website
- Check CardMatch (this shows you cards from other issuers as well, most bloggers will suggest just using this as cards from there will pay a commission but American Express cards don’t always show – we don’t use CardMatch affiliate links)
It seems most people being targeted don’t have any American Express cards, but some reports of those with lots of cards being targeted as well.
Our Verdict
Keep in mind it’s only possible to get the sign up bonus on each personal American Express card once per lifetime. The 100,000 Platinum offer becomes available on a semi regularly basis and there have been targeted offers for 150,000, with how popular the Platinum card is due to lounge access and the $200 airline incidental credit I doubt we’ll see a public 150,000 point offer but it’s worth mentioning.
Obviously not everybody will receive these offers, but let me know your results in the comments.
