Earn a Bonus When You Upgrade Your Amex Platinum Card

American Express is offering select Platinum cardholders a bonus of 30,000 Membership Rewards to upgrade their card. Well, this is not really an upgrade, but a downgrade to Amex Gold. Let’s see the details.

The Offer

Earn 30,000 Membership Rewards Points after you spend $1,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership.

Upgrading is simple. Your account number will not change and any existing Additional Card(s) will also be upgraded. You can continue using your existing Card(s) until you receive the new Card(s).

The offer is showing up in the Amex Offers section, or you might also see it in your email inbox.

Conclusion

If you have an Amex Platinum card, you are no longer eligible to earn a welcome bonus for the Amex Gold card in the next 5-6 years. So if you see one of these offers, then it’s worth taking it, unless you really like your Amex Platinum Card.
