Welcome to the forums. We like to search before asking, but definitely before starting a new thread, so thanks for at least finding the right thread. Just look one post up from what you wrote and you'll see that there are no more affiliate links with AMEX. Not for Dan, not for anyone.

YMMV. I know people that got bumped up, I tried twice and didn't.
I know 1 perk is getting upgrades if available.

There is no such thing as a best credit card.

But ideally, you should always be using new cards to hit the spending thresholds on each.

Affiliate links are, but he might still get a referral bonus. You gotta make a living somehow...

sent you a new one for any specific reason? Others were lost? Any request? Out of the blue?
