[Update: Reader Vic clarifies that it’s the Amex Platinum cards which are showing a 30,000 points referrer bonus that’s also showing the 100,000 points signup bonus. If you see a lower bonus for referrer, then you won’t see the 100,000 referee bonus.]
American Express is currently offering 100,000 points signup bonus on the consumer Platinum card. The one downer is that referral links are showing a lower offer.
However, uscreditcards101 reports getting the 100,000 + 10x offer to show when using a referral link. I still can’t get it to show using any referral link, so it’s obviously not for everyone, but worth keeping an eye out. Might only work when using a Platinum card to refer to the Platinum card, and only on certain browsers or geographic locations.

no 10x points as well as no 100k welcome points. because i had this card 4 years back . bonus rewards are for applicable to life time once.
so did they deny your app?
Can I still get the $20 for stream and phone bill this month for the new approved PLT card?
Is that ok to post referral link here for 100k +10x?
No
No
Amex just refreshed the referral bonus. A lot of people are seeing 30k on the personal Platinum now.
Anyone knows whether the offer has any lifetime term or not? Thanks
anyone knows if purchase @ WMNM counted as grocery for the Platinum like the Gold card? thx
I just used the prequal link and got the $100k offer without a referral. Does anyone know how long the offer will last?
ffs
Update is not true. My wife's refer bonus shows 30K. But the sign up bonus only shows 95K for me to use her link.
Does she have a gold card or a platinum card?
ONLY Platinum + 30k would show 100k platinum.
Gold + 30k would not.
It is a platinum card.
The point other posters are making is that your wife’s card is a BUSINESS platinum. Only the CONSUMER (non-business) platinum with 30k referral is triggering the 100k CONSUMER plat offer.
Is it a Platinum consumer referral?
I'm not sure which case you refer to. But I'm using my wife's business platinum refer link and check my own consumer platinum application link and find the 95k offer.
Right, it's only the referral link FROM a consumer Platinum card TO a consumer Platinum card WHICH ALSO has 30k offer that sees the 100k consumer Platinum signup bonus.
Got approved for 125000 miles reward. 4/24 750 score.
I pulled the trigger on 100k. Do you have any idea why you got targeted for 125k? Lots of spending? Certain cards in your wallet?
