There is also a publicly available offer for the Amex Plat - 50k MR points after $1000 spend in 3 months. Dan has the 25k link for the Amex Plat consumer on his main page so I'm not going to link the 50k promo here, but as juda mentioned it can be Googled.

The "50K public offer" was a manipulated link that actually only gives 25K as far as was reported here on DDF..

If you're referring to the "manipulated link" that included changing the "25K" to "50K", this is different. AFAIK it's not a manipulated link. The tiny print/footnote on this app also verifies you'll get 50k bonus points.

Perhaps it's not really a "public offer", but anyone lucky enough to stumble upon it would get the 50k.

I would try it, but my Amex Plat hasn't been closed long enough.

I'll PM it to you & Dan and I'll let you guys decide what to do with it from there - I don't want to publish a competing link on DDF if it's going to give someone else referral $$.

As long as it's a public link (not benefiting anyone) you can post it.

Isn't the existence of 2 proof that someone is profiting here? Why else would they make 2 links?

Amex is profiting, duh

Two links just mean two different marketing campaigns, they might very likely both be public and not affiliate.

Why wouldn't they just copy & paste the same link?

To keep track of how the various campaigns perform.

Aha. Good luck for them now the two links are linked. Wonder what would happen with the 3BM here. (I bet they'd do a 3FR)

Are you actually trying to say anything, or are you just trolling?

What I was TRYING to ask was what would happend if someone would apply with both links together. Obviously I failed to convey that. I can't try myself cuz I have a plat already

I believe every Amex offer says its for first time cardholders only (including the regular Platinum that many members did multiple times) . Hasnt been a problem yet

Stop believing everything you read (in T&Cs, especially when reported otherwise on DDF

)
