a little off the subject but are you allowed to get two bonuses with the amex plat for two separate businesses?
it goes by your social, if both businesses are listed under your ss, then no.

Hey everyone,

Could I use the 2BM to apply for BRG and this card? Also, will I be able to use the platinum 25k upgrade with the BRG if I have this card?

Thanks!

Business and personal cards will not affect the sign up bonus for the card.

Few questions?  I know its been pretty back and forth but does the 2bm with the Mercedes and regular platinum still work to get both bonuses together or not anymore?? also would upgrading my BRG to a platinum then down to green cause me to have to wait another 18 months to sign up for a business platinum and get the bonus,or is it not considered that i ever really got the sign up bonus on platinum ??? thanx so much

Thanks! Also, do business and personal cards get two separate pulls with AMEX?

    Hi,  I'd like to apply for some Amex cards,  but I have no idea if I'm eligible for sign-up bonuses. 

    I currently have no active Amex cards except for my Costco Amex.

    Here's my previous history

    Closed my
    • platinum card on 9/27/12
    • Mercedes platinum on 10/5/12
    • business plat on 7/11/13


    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you

I downgraded my plat card before taking advantage of the National Exec status, when I send in a message to national to upgrade me because I'm a plat card holder they write back that I have to do it through Amex website or call up Amex to get it done. (tried twice so far) Anyone can advise what to do now?

Sorry I didn't notice that you closed your Business Plat in 2013, not 2012

You can't get Business Plat, Gold, Green until after 7/11/2014

interesting. It makes sense as in my experience it has posted before  I paid. This is for someone who Just got their first Amex card

No, you can no longer get Personal Plat + MB Plat. They are considered the same product now.

1 - So if I closed my Personal Plat in 8/12 then closed my MB Plat in 10/13, I can't apply for EITHER one until 10/14?

2 - If I spent $3k, and the points show online, but then the $200 Airline Credit kicked in, so my bill is $2,800 not 3k, will my points be clawed back?

Thanks!
