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.

https://www.americanexpress.com/u.../platinum/ - YMMV on points offered

I don't suppose I could retroactively get this offer as I got the card 3 months ago?

Nope. Amex doesn't generally back-match offers after the fact.

Does anyone know what credit bureaus Amex will look up? I need to unfreeze my credit file to be able to apply for the card.

Applied and got approved last week with 150K sign up bonus. I'm from So Cal and Amex pull my credit through Experian.

They'll disappear (you might have like 60 or 90 days to use em, can't recall).

Which means if you don't intend to use them up by then sometime before your year is up you'll want to also do a signup bonus for one of the Amex MR point cards without an annual fee. As long as you have ANY MR card, you keep all the points (they pool into a single pool-- rather than being "on" a particular card like Chase)
what does MR mean?

Incognito worked for me - if i logged into amex it would be a much lower offer. It worries me that all 3 reports are frozen and it approved me.

I also think i messed up? i have a gold so it wont upgrade that? ill need to downgrade that gold to a free card correct?

https://www.americanexpress.com/c...3.2021.pdf - Check out pages 11 through 16 on eligible cards. If you earn points and not cashback, then you are mostly having an MR card and I would expect points to be transferrable between compatible cards.
