The FYF (and $99 annual fee thereafter) is confirmed on the application disclosure when you click through to apply, so no concerns here.
Also, the Amex landing page shows the welcome bonus as "25,000 Membership RewardsŪ points when you charge $500 in purchases to your Card in your first 3 months of Cardmembership". No mention of the bonus not being awarded if you have had the card previously. If that's really the case, it could be a good offer to churn. So might prefer referring from a Business Plat and get 25k referral points to offset the $150 fee.


Not sure if someone recently tried to apply via perkopolis. I tried to apply thru perkopolis just now for personal gold and was not able to do it. Amex website displays message stating the online application is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

Sent e-mail to Perkopolis. Waiting for them to respond.
