Confirmed: Business Platinum (USA) earning - 5x on prepaid hotel and flights
Just spoke with the business platinum team and they confirmed that as of 3/31 the business platinum card will match the personal platinum card and offer 5x the points on flights booked directly with the carrier and hotels.
This confirmed change finally compelled me to leave the business gold as my 3x category was in airfare - this will result in a huge increase in personal earning. Great news! |

I do not find confirmation of any changes to Business Platinum online. The personal Platinum offers 5X points only for prepaid hotels booked through American Express Travel, excluding all FHR stays. I would be surprised if the Business Platinum version were more generous.

Are they keeping the get 50% MR points back when redeeming for airline tickets with the designated airline ? If so, then this would make it a better card than the Personal Platinum. I actually closed my Business Platinum after getting the Schwab Platinum card, but might consider re-opening it.

If the Business Platinum gets 5x airfare and retains the 50% rebate, I'll just switch to that over the personal platinum.

If the biz card starts earning 5X for air, my citi and chase cards are both toast!!

I don't know if this is accurate, but the rep I spoke with today said that after 3/30, the 50% back on MR point redemptions will include both airfare and hotels. I decided to re-open my Business Platinum card because the annual fee shouldn't be billed till the summer which gives me some time to see how the potential changes impact me. If I get 50% back on airfare and hotel redemptions along with 5X points on both, it will be awesome ! Sounds too good to be true though.

Can someone clarify what AMEX means by prepaid hotel? Is that simply just booking a hotel on Amextravel.com?
|
Might be true if they mirror the personal plat $100 AF hike.
