Received an offer for 60k with $5k spend in 3 months. Looks like they are sending out 60k offers too now. Wondering if I should go for it...Questions
* if I call them, might the up the offer to 100k?
* historically, has there been a 100k offer every few months?
* Anyone have any experience using their Global Assist Premium service?
* worth it to go for the 60k offer or hold out for the 100k offer?
cheers

About every three to four weeks since January I've been getting the 100k points for $10k spent in 90 days on business plat Amex at my business address. Once in awhile I'll also get a business gold offer for 50k points and $3k spending in 90 days.
I am probably gonna pull the trigger on this 100k one, but I am somewhat nervous about reaching the $10k spend in time, depending on what kind of credit limit they give me...
just closed a bank of america personal Amex and have two other personal Amex's so I wanted to "make room" for this amex in case I would have too many.
Recently had a Surpass Amex for hilton, but cancelled it back to the regular hilton amex. Surpass isn't considered "amex gold" is it?
I am greedy and want the 100k points offer for $5k spending, not $10k spending! How do they decide which combination to offer me, you think? I get these things like junk mail practically, along with one just as often for a prior resident (hasn't lived here in 5 years, was gone before I got here).

i have been waiting for a chance to get the personal platinum 100k card for a long time but no luck. I never get any kind of targeted offers.

Here's the response from American Express, along with some interesting insight into how AMEX promotions work:
Dear tigerhunt2011
I understand your concern regarding the offer.
Please note that these promotions are sent by our marketing department. Therefore, each promotion offer may be different towards every individual.
I checked your account but was not able to see this offer linked to your account.
All our promotions are time bound and unique. They cannot be applied manually to an account on which they are not linked.
While this particular offer is not available to you, we are always creating new offers to help our existing Cardmembers earn more bonus points. When an offer becomes available to you, we will send you a letter or email explaining the opportunity and how you can take advantage of it.
However, if you have received this offer to upgrade your card and earn 75000 bonus points, you may go ahead and upgrade your card as per the terms of the offer.
We do hope you understand.
Sincerely,
