I just got an offer for the Business Platinum 150k for 15k spend in 3 months. Oddly it was less than 1 month after getting my first Amex card (PRG with 50k for 1k spend). The 150k offer is 100k for 5k spend and the next 50k for 10k more spend. The 5k spend isn't a problem as I can pay my $1000 rent on card plus various expenses. I project id need to MS about 6k to max this 150k offer. I can float a few grand if I need to pre-pay some expenses. I'd like to MS all 6k though if possible. My question is, is there any way to safely MS 6k without a clawback? This will only be my second AMEX card so I'm not sure on their algorithms. My personal income is like 65k but I put a combined 110k income for myself and wife if that helps in determining how much you think is safe to spend. I do most spend on Chase cards though so total PRG spend in two months is 1500 just to ensure clearance of 1k spend for bonus, so I'm not exactly their most profitable spender at this point. I'm sure they look at profitability also. Thanks dudes.
