Business Platinum (USA) Adobe benefit (2021 - 2025)
https://www.americanexpress.com/us/c...dit-card-amex/
AMEX just refreshed the Business Platinum. You can lock in the $595 annual fee if you sign up before January 13, 2022.
The SUB is 120k with $15k spending in 3 months.
The Indeed credit looks useless to me. Any idea on how to effectively use it?
I wonder which Adobe Creative Solutions plans qualify for the credit?

Subscribe directly through Adobe and it _should_ post. I can't confirm as the only Adobe product I use Is Acrobat which I purchase through Dell using one of the semi annual credits. When it comes for renewal, I'll shift that to Adobe and free up the $200 for Dell. Although there only so much printer ink one can buy outside of the Office 365 subscription which I also use a Dell credit on.

I'm surprised there weren't more data points on the Adobe credit. Are you guys going to just leave the credit unused?

I've been able to get value out of the airline credit (Southwest Airlines trick), Adobe credit, and bi-annual Dell credit. Where I'm at a loss to use is the Indeed credit. I'm not a biz owner nor in HR (I do 100% commission security tech sales & pay for a lot of personal expenses & then write off or get reimbursement from my company). Any ideas?

Yea, I'm at a loss with the Indeed credit. I would like to know how to take advantage of this as well.

Neither do I and I use Adobe as well. Just haven't figured out a way to monetize the credit from the Plat card. If I do, I'll be sure to post here. Or if someone else here figures out a method to use it I hope they'll share it with the rest of us.

I don't want to leave money on the table, and I actually do use Adobe software.
I'm pretty sure personal plans won't qualify, as it has been widely discussed in this thread. You need to sign up, at a minimum, a business plan.
Which Adobe plan did you sign up for? When did you get the credit back? Screenshot of the credit going to your account?

Hate that it seems very few are getting any utility out of the Indeed credit. Seems VERY limited & I have no clue why Amex would see this as a very strong inducement to apply for the card. I don't plan on entering the job market in 2022 but in this COVID influenced world who knows...

I signed up for Adobe for Teams. The subscription exceeded $150.00 but my company is going to reimburse me for the overage. I need the service to create & send equipment lease docs for signature. We'll get use out of the other Adobe suite products, too.

Business Platinum is marketed to business owners. It shouldn't be a surprise that some features won't apply to those who do not own a business, or to those who do own a business but do not need a particular service. This discount is offered by Adobe, not by American Express. I cannot see any reason that American Express should turn down a profitable marketing partnership because it won't appeal to every customer. If we don't need a service, just ignore it in the same way that we ignore the vast majority of the 100 Amex Offers. This is just advertising.

I think if your goal is to get something for exactly $150, you'll end up being disappointed. I think you're looking at something around $220 and the Adobe credit will cover most of it. You'll still have to spend a bit of money out of pocket. That's a win for me if I can get something like Adobe Acrobat.

I don't need this, but it doesn't seem complicated. The terms of the Adobe offer tell us the names of the eligible products: Creative Cloud All Apps or Single Apps for Teams or Acrobat Pro DC with E-Sign or advanced E-Sign for Teams.
Go here: https://www.adobe.com/sign/pricing/plans.html then click the Teams tab -or- use the link provided in the terms: https://www.adobe.com/special/amexbenefit/
Acrobat Pro DC for teams costs $203.88 plus tax.
