There’s an exciting new offer that’s just been announced on The Platinum Card® from American Express with a tantalizing twist that’s worth a few minutes of your time today.
Amex may now give you a personalized welcome offer on this card, and it may be higher than you’d expect!
It works like this: Apply and find out your welcome offer, which could now be as high as 175,000 pointsafter you spend $8,000 on purchases within the first six months of card membership. (Note: Welcome offers vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer — especially if you have received a welcome offer on this card in the past.)
With TPG valuing Membership Rewards points at 2 cents apiece in our June 2025 valuations, your welcome offer could be worth as high as a staggering $3,500.
Along with a potentially massive welcome offer, the iconic Platinum Card comes packed with travel perks like lounge access; multiple elite hotel statuses; statement credits for airlines, Clear Plus, hotels, shopping and digital entertainment; and much, much more (enrollment is required for select benefits).
I love redeeming Membership Rewards points for things like business-class flights to Europe or Japan or taking the whole family to Hawaii. They’re even great for short domestic flights as well as hotel stays.
