Just saw article about new Amex Plat benefits pop up on the front page of Yahoo Finance:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/travel-credit-card-competition-heats-up-with-revamped-amex-platinum-184144205.html

Bad sign when CC offers make national news.

However seemingly this thread has turned into a toned down version of it

You can get a clue or even better if you do some reading on this thread . Was spelled out for all people with at least quarter brain within last few pages .

Why in the world would that make any difference? The promo is only on business platinum.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Worst case scenario, it shouldn't be hard to get them to credit it.

I hope they extend it to all airlines and not just the one you chose, otherwise we are all stuck with flying Delta :(
