Done. There was never such talk.

‘previous’ means previous versions of the same Platinum Card. The co-branded Platinum cards are considered different products. So if you aren’t flagged for other criteria (e.g. gaming behavior), you would still be eligible for the welcome bonus.”
Do you know what co-branded mean?

There has never been talk of issues with double dipping personal and business. Would surprise me very much if they stopped it

Yes. Do you?  :)
Co branded means the Schwab CC, not the business platinum.

Biz and personal were always separate. Nobody ever talked about limiting you to just one of them.

I have not had a chance to play around with it yet but this strategy from Dan (first published back in Dec'20) comes to mind: https://www.dansdeals.com/credit-cards/using-amex-consumer-platinum-cards-streaming-credit-amazon-gift-cards/

Make sure to come back and provide a DP if you decide to give it a shot

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

Get 500,000 points on the amex platinum!
« Reply #74 on: December 14, 2021, 09:59:32 PM »
Moderators, if this post is against rules, you may remove.
But please read first.
This Amex offer is an amazing opportunity for people who pay tuition to private schools, and shop locally.
It's true that this offer won't give anyone referral bonuses, but it's such an amazing opportunity for our community, I don't think it's right to withhold for personal gain of 10k or 20k points.

Resy is offering the amex platinum for 125,000 bonus after 6k spend in 6 months.
True there is a 695 annual fee, but the main catch is, it will also give you a whopping 15 points per dollar for shop small, on 25k spend in the first 6 months. If maximized, that equals 375,000 points, plus 125k sub, totals 500,000 points!
If your Childrens school is listed as a shop small business, it's easy to pay your tuition with this card and maximize this, or if your grocery and Purim and pesach shopping is local, this is a no brainer. 500k points is worth anywhere between $5k-10k. That an amazing return on everyday spend of $25k.
In addition there are some great benefits, that easily offset the 695 af (at least for the first year).
Please moderators allow this thread to start. I think tons of people can really gain from this, and we can list which establishments are considered shop small. I have many dp I can share.

I don't believe the "Shop Small" tool is considered 100% accurate. There are plenty of DP's of businesses not listed on that tool that still code as small-biz

if the map doesn't show maybe try a smaller charge first and see if you get the bonus. The bonus points post within a couple of days.
