Our Verdict

The main benefit to this offer is that there is no lifetime language, so you can get the bonus if you already got it before. If you haven’t received the bonus before there is also an offer for up to 110,000 points but that requires significantly more spend. It’s much harder to use the airline incidental credits now, so I think that makes it much harder to get good value out of the massive $595 annual fee – especially as Priority Pass that is included does not include restaurant options anymore. All of that being said if you’ve had this card before an offer like this is really the only way you’d be able to get the sign up bonus again so definitely worth at least considering. I won’t add this to the best credit card bonus page because it’s targeted. As always you can read and learn more about American Express credit cards by clicking here.
