I can't say much other than you may like tomorrow's bonus better. Tough call, I know.

I can't say what it is, but I'd say it is better than that. This is a big card relaunch and intro offer...

What’s behind this? Did the card issuers lose a lot of premium accounts because the benefits are mostly travel related? Did a lot of people recalibrate their lifestyle during lockdowns and decide the card isn’t worth it?

AMEX felt is was too travel focused, they want it to be more well rounded.

What about the Biz Plat? I would rather the annual fee lower than it increased with credits at random stores that I would not use otherwise.

Uh oh. I have three of them, thanks to them being travel focused.
I hope we'll at least see useful benefits (like the PayPal offer, or even BestBuy offer), rather than streaming, shipping, or other stores where we need to think of what to buy so the credit doesn't get wasted...

Will there be any exciting offers for existing card members like Best Buy/Home Depot credit?
