No current AMEX Gold/Platinum offers right now?
 

I am looking to apply for a AMEX Gold PRG card or a Platinum (Gold strongly preferred). I cant find any good deals. Seems like the 50k gold promo just ended a few days ago. How long until something good (or just as good) comes up?

I only have 1 CC now with around a 750 score, so I am looking to get something new.

My partner just got the 100,000 Platinum sign up bonus in the mail. It had an expiration date of 3/20. Took the offer and was instantly approved. So they're out there.

I've seen a lot of people get these targeted 100k offers. Wish one would show up in my mailbox. Going on a trip n May with lots of layovers and lounge access would be clutch.

No current AMEX Gold/Platinum offers right now?
 

I took up the 75k Gold Bis offer. Requires 10k spend - put on 10k of flights so should be getting 100k plus soon.

Are there any open, general, non-targeted offers? I never get mailed cc offers, despite my credit score. Is there a way I can request an offer from Amex?

Further down the same page are links to some current public offers:

...but remember, if you do not open these links in a Private or Incognito window you may see something different.

ah those offers suck lol. 25k points but having to spend 2k in 3 months. I know I just missed the great one (50k for spending 1k). When can another great offer come around

You can get 50k if you go through the Mercedes co-branded Plat card. Otherwise, your guess is as good as ours.

50k on Amex plat is pretty weak considering the $475 fee and it's not waived the
First year

OK, well then I suppose you'll be waiting for a better offer. Like the rest of us.

is it possible to get Mercedes Benz Amex Platinum then downgrade to AMEX Gold PR before my yearly fee is due for my Platinum card

Correct, but it is largely refundable with minimal effort. Begin your research by reading the first few posts in this thread, then skim one of the airline-specific threads linked in the first post:

How much would you value 50k points at?
