Dell credit now live!
Get up to $100 in statement credits between January and June and up to $100 in statement credits between July and December for U.S. purchases with Dell on your Business Platinum Card. That's up to $200 in statement credits annually. Enrollment required.
https://global.americanexpress.com/card-benefits/enroll/shop-dell/business-platinum



Benefit Terms
Shop Dell with Business Platinum

Only the Basic Card Member or Authorized Account Manager(s) on a Business Platinum CardŽ Account can enroll the Card Account in the benefit. Eligible purchases must be charged to the enrolled Card Account for the benefit to apply. Purchases by both the enrolled Basic Card Member and Employee Card Members on the enrolled Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, each Card Account is only eligible for up to $100 in statement credits between January and June and up to $100 in statement credits between July and December for a total of $200 per calendar year in statement credits across all Cards on the enrolled Card Account. Valid only on purchases made directly with Dell or at dell.com in the US and US Territories where Dell is the merchant of record for the purchase. Not valid on online purchases shipped outside of the US. Please allow 2-4 weeks after an eligible purchase is charged to your Card Account for statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account. Please call the number on the back of the Card if statement credits have not posted after 4 weeks from the date of purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your eligible purchase from merchant until all items from your eligible purchase have been provided/shipped by merchant. Statement credit may be reversed if the eligible purchase is returned/cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible for the benefit, you will not receive the statement credit. For example, your transaction will not be eligible if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you may not receive the statement credit if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it. To be eligible for this benefit, Card Account(s) must be not canceled and not past due at the time of statement credits fulfillment. For additional information, call the number on the back of your Card.
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

I have a couple questions that may seem obvious to some and they were probably already discussed somewhere up-thread but i'd appreciate responses :)

1. Does spending on additional free green cards on the business plat count as "eligible purchases" toward the spending thresh hold to get signup bonus
2. Does spending on the other perks like $200 incidental airline credit, $100 dell, global entry etc count as "eligible purchases" as well
3. What is NOT considered "eligible purchases"
4. What benefits do free (green cards) additional users get? I know they can get a global entry credit but anything else? any lounge access?

Lol did not know that either, i made global entry for a few fam members without adding them as AU and it went thru
They don't need to be AU to qualify. he's saying that each AU card can purchase global entry and will be refunded!

I remember someone giving me free globa entry credits to sell so they can gain in spending. I cannot give you personal experience, however I am pretty sure that he did it for this reason.

thanks.
Know about this but it's a little risky, complicated and time consuming especially that I cannot do drop off as I'm in FL.
Would like to avoid them or not spend too much there if possible.
But thanks for trying to help

3. What is NOT considered "eligible purchases"
I heard that visa gift cards and the like are not considered "eligible purchases" toward spending threshold?
Anyone have any DP about this?
If true, is it only for cash style gift cards or also for store gift cards like Amazon, Target , Wal-Mart etc.l
