Business Platinum Card Revamp
We’re just a few days away from September 18, which is the big reveal for the revamped Amex Platinum cards. However, we already have some information about new credits for the personal Platinum Card and now we know the full details and the signup bonus for the Business Platinum Card.
The details were first revealed by Doctor of Credit, which include the $895 annual fee, a 200K points bonus and the new $600 FHR/THC credit.
