Maybe and maybe. If you will have costs in 2013 and 2014 that you would have actually had to pay out of pocket and can get reimbursed for them, then it's a great deal with a nice low minimum spending requirement.

That is an exceptional offer considering the current public AMEX Platinum offer is 25k and the public Mercedes-Benz Platinum offer is 50k.
However, for the sake of most others on here waiting to jump on a Platinum offer when it comes out, let me ask you, are you a current cardmember? AMEX is getting very stingy with signup bonuses for current customers.

AirFjord's report of a 75,000 targeted offer has been appended to the established thread. See also the same poster's separate thread in Credit Card Programs comparing this offer to others:

i got the 100k, $5,000 spend in 3 months, $450 AF Business Platinum offer.
i went for it due to the airline fee reimbursement, global entry, and lounge access (priority pass and award travel on AA, US, etc).
don't travel that much but it will be nice to have for some upcoming trips.
have not had an AMEX in a very long time and i am working on rebuilding my credit with Barclay's US, Citi AA, etc. needless to say i was a little surprised at the offer.

Clearly if I can't get the points, it's not worth it. Then again, in theory AMEX knows I'm already a cardmember, right? ;-)

I just got a 25K offer to upgrade from a MR Gold card. Has anyone had any success calling with a 25K offer and getting a 75K or 100K one?
