Huge Amex Platinum Offer, 150K Points Bonus Through Referrals
American Express has been very generous over the last year when it comes to welcome bonuses. We have seen amounts that were previously unheard of, such as 190,000 points.
Now there’s yet another huge welcome offer for the personal Amex Platinum Card for 150,000 points. This offer is showing up through referral links, when using a clean browser window. That’s an additional bonus on it’s own as some people can also get a 30,000 or even 45,000 points referral bonus. Let’s look at the details.
Update 9/8/22: The offer is showing back in some accounts (HT Spencer Howard)
The Offer
- Earn 150,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $6,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership.
- $695 Annual Fee
- Check for Offer (referral link)
Amex Platinum Earning Structure
The Amex Platinum card earns the following rates:
- 5X Membership Rewards on flights booked directly with the airline
- On up to $500K in spend per calendar year
- 5X Membership Rewards on prepaid hotels via Amex Travel
- 1X Membership Rewards on everything else
Amex Platinum Card Perks
The Amex Platinum card comes with over 40 unique perks, which you can check out here, but here are a few of my favorites:
- $200 Annual Uber Credit + Uber VIP Status: Our Guide to Amex Platinum Uber Credit
- $200 Annual Airline Fee Credit: See Complete Guide to Maximizing Your Travel Credits
- $200 Annual Hotel Credit: On prepaid bookings at Fine Hotels + Resorts® or The Hotel Collection properties made through American Express Travel
- $179 CLEAR Credit: Annual statement credit for a CLEAR membership
- Priority Pass Membership and Centurion Lounge Access
- More: $100 Saks Credits, Free Walmart+, $240 Entertainment Credits
Conclusion
This is a tremendous offer if it shows up for you. Currently the public offer is for 100,000 points only, so you would get an additional 50,000 points through this referral offer.
We often see increased referral bonuses as well, so this could go up to 195,000 points if you have a 45K referral. And remember that you can now choose the two new fancy designs.

Is this only for personal or business? for the 150k bonus
This referral is for personal. There was some business offers out there but I think they dried up. Possible to get 170K or 250K offers for that by calling in though.
Still waiting on the 150K offer with 10X spend on restaurants for the first 6 months to come back on the personal platinum
That is a good one. I’d probably get impatient and just grab the 125K plus 10X Resy offer
How long will this be active? I’ve got to finish up $30k spend for SUBs between me and P2 first before I can commit to this one.
My referral link has the 150k offer
http://refer.amex.us/MARCBTfHM?XLINK=MYCP
My referral link was good for 100K for $6K spend in 6 months. I need to wait because I’m working on 150K for $15K over 90 days with the business platinum. Also, I got a $695 credit on another business platinum yesterday to cover the annual fee for the next year. Keep the offers coming!R
which card did you use to wash out the $695 annual fee
The offers need to 250k or 300k with a free llike that.
There never was a 250-300k MR offer.
You can use the 150k for a $1500 Statement Credit. Aka even leaving out all the other credits (Uber etc.) you get much more value than the AF.
The referral link you posted does not work,,,please confirm
Shows as 100k for me
Try mine (and maybe another/incognito browser) http://refer.amex.us/MARCBTfHM?XLINK=MYCP
Thx, I used this once for me about a month ago and my 150,000 MR points have already been deposited.
Trying it now for my wife and it’s saying “currently unavailable.” Post back here if you get another 150K link and I’ll get notified and use it.
Hi Marc, I used your referral link yesterday for Amex Platinum and it seems to still be working fine for 150k.
