Over the weekend there was two methods for finding increased offers on American Express cards, previously people have been able to access these by using incognito mode but it usually didn’t work (it sometimes worked better if you used a VPN, but I don’t like giving a VPN access to my application data).
Highest Offer Method
This was found and posted by reddit user prussiablue.
- Clear browser cache
- Open new incognito mode
- Open an increased offer link (for example one of the referral bonuses on the 100,000 American Express business platinum) Note: This works even though those offers have expired.
- Click Cards, View All Personal Charge & Credit Cards
- All The Increased Offers Should Appear
Some people had more success using this link. Thanks to reader Chaseaholic.
Chinese Website Method
This was found by the team as US Credit Card Guide. Follow these steps:
- Clear browser cache
- Open new incognito mode
- Go to Baidu.com (chinese search engine) and search for ‘American Express’
- Click first official American Express result
- Click Cards, Click View All Small Business Cards
- Select the 100,000 point offer for the American Express Business Platinum
- Click Cards, View All Personal Charge & Credit Cards
- All The Increased Offers Should Appear
Increased Offers
The increased offers you should be able to see are as follows:
- Blue Cash Everyday – $250 + 10% At Amazon
- Blue Cash Preferred – $250 + 10% At Amazon
- Amex EveryDay – 15,000/25,000 Points
- AmEx Everyday Preferred – 30,000 Points
- American Express Green Card – 25,000 Points
- Gold Card from American Express – 25,000 Points
- Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express – 50,000 Points
- Starwood Preferred Guest – 30,000 Points
- American Express Personal Platinum – 75,000 Points
Our Verdict
Blue Cash Everyday is the best offer in my opinion if you can max out the Amazon category (will probably be more difficult after Christmas). EveryDay at 25,000 points is nice as well. Keep in mind the standard American Express rules apply. Let me know if you were successful with either method in the comments below.

prussiablue method worked for the 100k hilton honors points offer for the Hilton Amex (no AF) card!
hey great DP here folks. incognito mode worked and i got NO POP UP! the last few times i tried to apply for an amex card (biz or personal) i got the dreaded pop up message. i had actually just closed my Amex hilton a few months ago due to corona(hit the MSR and didnt use it otherwise). im wondering if amex has soften restrictions given covid, perhaps theyre desperate for customer/signups.
Chaseaholic link doesn't work.
The Highest Offer Method worked for me. Thank you! An extra 25k points on Amex Hilton Ascend! :)
I got Every Day 25K + 0 BT fee with chrome incognito, no other tricks. Just typed in americanexpress.com and clicked on credit card offers.
Just got 25K/2k spend offer on Everyday card, I got it after using the second link above. Also noticed a 25K offer on the business green 1K spend, and a 50K delta + 50 statement credit on the delta gold.
Baidu.com - 150,000 offer worked just now
150,000?? What card???
Awesome! is work for me... I clear the cache and use incognito mode.. and appears the 50k instead of the 25k public offer
Data point: I had success tonight, 8/15/2018, getting the Amex EveryDay 25,000 points offer following the Highest Offer Method steps while using the link from Chaseaholic. I tried incognito many times and Chinese site method many times with no success.
can you please elaborate? I am getting error using the chaseaholic link.
After further testing, it appears the link in my earlier post only worked because I used the method below and my browser was holding on to cookies/cache. So try this:
https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/personal-card-application/platinum-charge-card/36501-10-0/?pznOfferCode=PJ1W-5RSR2G-3DCQ-HSK&print#offerBenefitTermsDisclosures
Click the "here" link in the "We apologize that the offer you are looking for may no longer be available. Click here to learn more and apply for the current offer" message.
Proceed to click Cards > View All Personal Charge & Credit Cards. All the increased offers should appear, specifically the EveryDay 25K offer. As long as I clear cookies and cache, that is working for me across browsers without even going incognito, but incognito works too.
JP, try this link:
https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/platinum?invalidoffer=true
(that link is the "here" link in the "Click here to learn more and apply for the current offer" message that I receive when using Chaseaholic's link)
Proceed to click Cards > View All Personal Charge & Credit Cards. All the increased offers should appear, specifically the EveryDay 25K offer. That is working for me without going incognito.
Didn't work tonight. I saw the 100K MR Platinum AMEX BIZ Offer but none of the rest on 7/25/18.
