Just called Amex about offers for Platinum. Some background:
- Got in on the 100K offer in January, annual fee just came due
- Was offered a $200 airline fee reimbursement when the e-mail about the lounge access came out in addition to the $200 airline fee reimbursement we already get.
- I have already taken advantage of the $200 airline fee reimbursement by buying AA gift cards
- About 16K spend on the card this year
Offers: nothing. Might try again, but kind of don't want to push my luck I think. $400 in airline credits in addition to the other benefits means that this is a wash for me this year. I think it would be better off holding onto it another year and trying again next year since there is no chance Amex would offer a retention bonus two years in a row (at least recent experience has taught me that with some other cards).
I would be curious to hear if other people who received the $200/$500 bonus in the e-mail about the lounge access have been getting offers and how they went about it.
