New Amex Business Platinum Upgrade Offer – 180K Membership Rewards
There is a new targeted upgrade offer for the Amex Business Platinum Card that is pretty insane. The spending requirement is the same as the previous highest upgrade offer of 140,000 points, $10,000 within 3 months. But you can now earn 180,000 Membership Rewards if you’re lucky enough to find the offer in your accounts. Let’s see the details.
Business Platinum Upgrade Offer Details
The offer is as follows:
- Upgrade to the Business Platinum card and earn 180,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $10,000 within the first 3 months.
- You will be charged the $695 annual fee (or a proration of it).
There’s no link where you can check if you are targeted. You just need to log into your accounts either online or in the Amex app.

Should You Take the Offer?
Normally, if you have never had the Business Platinum card then taking this upgrade offer will trigger the once per lifetime language on the Business Platinum card. So you would technically not be eligible for a future welcome offer on the card (the enforcement doesn’t always match the terms here).
But this is a much better offer than what’s publicly available as a signup bonus on the card, and the spending is lower. So this would be a better option for those who are targeted.
Final Thoughts
This is an amazing offer if you can meet the spend requirements. I would be a lot more tempted to jump on this at $10,000 versus the normal $15,000 required. Unfortunately I don’t see this offer in my accounts.
Check your Amex Offers section for the offer, it should be right at the top. Let us know if you are targeted!
