AMEX platinum business card, 150K MR with 20K spend in 3MO
I got a offer in the mail from Amex;
Receive 150K MR Points. First 100k when you spend 10k in 3MO additional 50K MR Points when you spend additional 10k in the same time period.
Can spending thresholds be negotiated with Amex? Thanks for your help!

150,000 Point (Targeted) Platinum Card Offer
So my friend was over for lunch and told me he received a 150K MR Platinum Card Offer. I didn't believe him, having never seen an offer over 100K ever, but he just sent me a picture of it. Terms are 100,000 points after $10K spend within 3 months, and another 50,000 points after an additional $10K spend within those 3 months. So basically 150,000 if you can spend $20K in 3 months. Has anyone else been getting such high offers, and are these common? That's a crazy amount of points.

This offer is great! How many Amex cards do you already have? How much total credit do you have with Amex? I would love to be targeted as well...

No other AMEX now. My boss has been getting 100,000 offers for gold and plat over the last 12 months. He only has the US airways card and a GM Capital One card (despite my pleading for him to do better) About $25,000 average monthly spend.

Apparently, amazingly, there is a market in the activation codes for these offers.
A reader of my blog who had used a mileage broker got an email saying that if he was targetted by Amex for promos like this they would pay him for the code!
