Targeted offers for 75K and 150K bonus points

by Andrew Kunesh, Senior Reporter, Cards & Loyalty

Select qualified TPG readers could be targeted for two huge bonus offers — and we’re going to tell you how to check your eligibility.

First, we want you to know there’s an exclusive 150,000-bonus-point offer on The Platinum Card® from American Express. According to TPG’s latest valuations, that bonus is worth $3,000 — and a 75,000-bonus-point offer on the American Express® Gold Card is valued at $1,500!

Both of these offers are available exclusively in our CardMatch tool. Within that tool, you can check to see if you are pre-qualified for these latest special offers from American Express. The highest publicly available offer on the Amex Platinum card is currently 80,000 bonus points, and on the Amex Gold card it’s 60,000 bonus points. Checking your targeted offers in CardMatch will not affect your credit score.

If you are targeted for and apply for one of the welcome offers, the points will be awarded to your Membership Rewards account after you spend $8,000 on purchases in the first six months of card membership for the Amex Platinum card and after $4,000 on purchases in six months of card membership for the Amex Gold. Here are some of our favorite ways to use those Membership Rewards points for amazing trips.

Don’t miss the chance to see if you can get in on one of the biggest bonuses of the year by checking CardMatch today.
