American Express is offering a 150k bonus offer on its American Express Platinum card. Still has a $695 annual fee, but this is the highest I've seen.

Based on the rewards calculator, it seems like to get $1500 in rewards, you would have to use the points on flights and select gift cards. Might not be as good as a deal as it looks based on how you plan on redeeming the points.

You can get the Amex Platinum for Schwab card later on, (100K bonus and same $695) fee. And that lets you cash out all your points for 1.1 cents. So a 150,000 bonus would be $1,650.

150k pts worth $1500 for flights is on the lowest end (and as noted stacked with the Schwab card you can get >1500 as straight cash from amex points).


It's potentially worth much more used for some travel (transfer to airline partners primarily, esp premium flight bookings)


For example I recently booked a ~$3000 flight using 144k points.

That's on top of the many hundreds in various credits you can get during your 1 year of membership.

how do you figure out if you're eligible again?

i got the Platinum from Morgan Stanley in Sept 2021. What are my odds of getting this approved? i know i will get the signup bonus since these 2 are different products.

Yeap, that is the way to do it.

Once did a 90k miles for $4500-5000 worth of tix.

Though airlines keep on devalue their program smh

Its not like Chase reserve. Only selected hotels (may be not even enough for 2 day stay) and airline credit is only for extra fees.

Any hints on how to actually cash out with the MS card? I have an MS Platinum and no clue how to redeem for cash at 1c per mile

Far from ideal, but an easy way to use them is $1500 in home depot GCs

But yeah, there's many other ways to use them
