Could be.  I signed up however because I was targeted, which got me into this whole game again (6 apps in last 2 months.)  Also, I churned a Plat about 2 years ago for 100k.  Doesn't that disqualify me from public Plat signup bonuses due to the new rule?
wow! This is a interesting data point.

officially the new amax terms are that you are only eligible for a bonus once per lifetime...
So I guess with an invitation it's an exception?

In my case it would seem so. I does make sense,  being that they invite you under those terms.  I can't imagine this hasn't already been discussed somewhere on DDF.

June 20th:  Activate targeted Plat 40k
June 25th:  Meet and exceed spend
June 30th  Pay $2000 before statement close
July 1st   8) 8) 40k post     8) 8)


Now I need to decide whether or not to keep the card.  Any way to get the $450 AF waived or reduced?  Any ideas on how to make it worth $450 to keep?

The $450 is prorated. So depending on when you cancel it, you will get money back.

I am aware of that.  I'm really just wondering if there are ways to make the card pay for itself?

I've read and understood the wiki.  Please explain 1/yr over two yrs etc.  I understand I can do it now and again in Jan for $400. that plus GE should hit or get close to $450.  Being that i opened the card in June '14, June 15 I get charged AF and I can't do PGGM till Jan. So for the 2nd year I only recover $200, and am down $250.  Is that what you meant?

Being that GE Status is maintained for 5 years, i assume Amex only credits it once every five years. I may be mistaken.

I live outside the US and my wife is not a citizen, so it's not relevant to me. But I imagine you buy GE credits here:

Or you could buy one from me :)

So I just got an offer for Amex Platinum (personal), 100k, first year no fee.  Kdai?
Is it totally normal (halachically and practically), to cancel card after year?

If you haven't had it before, yes. Probably keep it intot he second year to get the next $200 in credits and then cancel.
