AmEx Business Platinum, $24K in annual spend, opened in Dec. 2016. Called today and was offered $50 statement credit or 7,500 MR points.

I had 40K MR still sitting in my account and still received that offer. It may have been higher had I not had those points in there, but AmEx is smart and knows that it would be worth a lot to them for those points to expire unused. So my guess is that a smart model would take this into account, but not entirely prevent an offer.
