I am looking to apply for the Amex Plat consumer card or biz card. I can only seem to find links for 25k signup bonus for each card. I do not have any direct target offer for 100K. Is there a better offer than 25k or am I stuck with what is outhere now?

Thanks,

You may be better off signing up for the business gold card and then using the 25k upgrade link.

I was looking to do a 2bm Amex gold and plat consumer for only 1 credit pull. If I do a gold biz card (aiming to upgrade to plat) and gold consumer gold card is that 2 pulls because one is biz and other consumer?

I believe Amex will only do one pull.

You could signup for the MB platinum for 50k bonus for spending 3k in three months. I think it's still around.

If your intention is to get the gold and platinum bonus from these two consumer applications, you most likely will not.

If you want more than one bonus your best bet is choosing 1 from each of the following (assuming signup bonuses exist):
a) Gold or Platinum consumer
b) Gold or Platinum business
c) Mercedes Benz Platinum (consumer)

Thanks for the heads up, if I go with the Gold consumer and MB plat I should recieve both bonuses?

With Amex you can do personal and business cards for one pull. If ~~magnus~~ mordyl19 wants, they can sign up for platinum business and personal gold with only one pull and get the bonuses. IIRC, they can also get the MB platinum bonus as well, making it 3 bonuses with only one pull.

As long as you haven't had any green, platinum or gold consumer product in the last 12 months, you should receive both bonuses.

Yes, discussed here.

mordyl19 · « **Reply #2216 on:** July 17, 2013, 01:08:04 PM »

Yes, you need to have an Active Account at Morgan Stanley, UBS, and other Brokerage firms to take advantage of the offered Platinum Cards.

Sounds like fighting off the salesman for the right to get extra points

I will give it some thought

What other brokerage firms offer co-branded Plats?

mordyl19 · « **Reply #2219 on:** July 17, 2013, 03:54:14 PM »

I personally know of UBS and Morgan Stanley. I said other firms because I believe Merill Lynch, Credit Suisse, and others would have some type of comparable card but I am not 100% sure. sorry for the confusion.
