Our Verdict

The previous incognito mode offer for this card was also 75,000 points but a spend requirement of $7,000. We’ve seen targeted offer on this card as high as 150,000 points. There was also the leaked 100,000 point leaks with only $3,000 in spend (although these lead to point balances being frozen).

75,000 points after $5,000 spend isn’t a bad offer and it could make sense for somebody that wants the Platinum benefits in the short term. I doubt we will see a public 100,000 link again and if we do it’ll either be leaked (leading to frozen accounts) or have a much higher minimum spend requirement. I’d be more likely to recommend this offer if American Express bonuses were not once per lifetime. Here is a list of things everybody should know about American Express cards.

  • I think the link is dead. It was working earlier today but I was going to apply now. Anyone else able to see the link?

  • Just signed up for this, it is still live!

    I can't make 10k worth of purchases without MS, but the 5k is manageable with property taxes that are due in April.

  • I received an email for 100k after $10k spend. I already have the Platinum card and the lifetime language is included in the offer.

  • Just got in on this one. Yeahh!

    I originally got approved on the leaked 100k offer but cancelled it because i had a bad feeling they will come after me for having the platinum benz card. I hope this one goes under the radar...

  • A simpler question:

    If I log in and I go to "my cards", then to all cards. and I see bonus promos on cards I have had in the past, are these legit for ME? Because I have had reps tell me I CANNOT have another bonus on a card I have had before even though I got an invite to apply (for the new one).

    So, IF I am still under my account profile thread line and see the DL Amex (that I had over 4 years ago) and it offers a bonus with approval, will I have to fight Amex later after meeting minimum spend?

    Best wishes on the Plat to all. I don't have a tax write off for that AF. Thanks for reading.

  • Applied this along with the 50k gold card. Approved instantly for both. Have few hospital bills and international travel to meet the minimum. Thanks!
