Targeted 50,000 MRP for Platinum Business
« on: November 15, 2011, 11:31:44 AM »
I received an offer for  50,000 MRP for signing up with Amex Platinum Business Card after spending $5,000 by March 18th, 2012.

Is this a good offer as far as Business Platinum cards go? Should I wait for a higher offer?

I don't know if they'll give you a higher offer. There have been 'public' links for 50k (some have been reported not working. The Mercedes platinum is 50k and I just got the 50k within a week from when I applied :)

Got the same offer in the mail for the business platinum. the $5,000 spend is a little tough though

It's 2 months of using Venmo and Amazon payments to send money to yourself, 5k is a breeze

Better off sending to a friend and using multiple accounts.

NICE! so you didn't have to lay out the $450 i presume? (You just cancelled right away?)

It's 2 months of using Venmo and Amazon payments to send money to yourself, 5k is a breeze

I'm assuming that means that you didn't take him up on his offer

I have read reports of them holding the funds and not releasing them until you sign something, etc.

Get some AUs? Surely you're not talking about Bonus ID: 5721, right? Can you explain?
