[Update: Readers note that some referral links are showing the 75,000 points offer on $5,000 spend as well when opened incognito. That’s quite a good offer when stacked with the referral bonus of 10k-20k points.]

- Signup for the American Express Platinum card and get 75,000 bonus points when spending $5,000 within 3 months at this link when going incognito.
I was able to pull this one up incognito without an problem.

Our Verdict
Similar offers have shown in the past. Standard offer on the card is 60,000 points with $5,000 spend. Proudmoney reports seeing 70,000 points offer publicly; I see 60,000 in regular browsing and 75,000 incognito, both with $5,000 spend requirement. Keep in mind, many people have had success getting 100,000 points with $5,000 spend using Cardmatch, but not everyone is able to always get that offer. The 75k/$5k offer isn’t bad.
Referral offers are showing the standard 60k/$5k, and that has the advantage of racking up referral points (even self-referral), which brings you to 70k-80k total, depending on the referral. Just keep in mind the tax implications there.

I have 75000 signup bonus for delta platinum personal credit card.. email me at venkateshr89atgmail ... i can send you the referral
I strangely only got a 70k (not 75k) offer for 5k spend to pull up. But if you use a referral code, 60k was the best I could get.
I'm curious. Why is this card worth it with such a high annual fee?
I think it's mostly for the Centurion lounges and hotel status. You can get access to lounges with Sapphire Reserve, US Bank Altitude, or Citi Prestige but not as wide a range as Centurion (which, with the partnership with Escape are the only lounges at mid sized airports like SMF, ONT, and OAK, beneficial for us California residents). The Uber credit can be beneficial to most travelers. DOC should update this chart but much of it is still valid: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/premium-cards-compared-chase-sapphire-reserve-american-express-platinum-citi-prestige/
not working anymore...
I got the 75K for Platinum, but it also showed a 50k for only $2k spend on the Gold!
Here is a trick if incognito not working for you:
Copy the link and email it to yourself. Open the email via gmail app.
Just worked for me.
Edit: even better, I referred myself from BBP via email, and pulled 75k offer.
What is BBP? Sorry, I'm a all in chase guy.
Sorry if it's been spelled out elsewhere, but how do I even create a referral link? When I go to Refer a Friend, the only options it shows are Hilton and Delta. It doesn't provide an option to refer the Platinum card, which I've had for years.
My referral link (from BBP, in incognito) is showing 70,000
Me too.
A quick clarification of the benefits:
Is there a difference now between SPG and Marriott Gold? Arent they one now?
(SPG gold status (this will also give you Marriott Gold status)
Also, I thought the Boingo benefits are done for Amex Platinum
(Unlimited Boingo internet access)
Was able to see the 75k no problem. Part of me keeps holding out for the 100k though. I don't NEED the points, I'm an all Chase guy, but it's always worth considering I guess.
Same. Been holding out for the 100k offer on cardmatch. Tried all the tricks and could never get it for almost a year, and "accidentally" misspelled my last name by 2 letters and it showed up for me in incognito tonight!
Same here/ I see the 75K and wait for 100K. Cardmatch gives potatoes all the time:D
If you use this link in Chrome shows 60k. If you use it in Chrome Incognito shows 70k and if you use it in Explorer incognito shows 75k.
My Explorer incognito was 70K
My chrome incognito showed 75k on the first attempt.
