Ahh, thanks!! Learned something new everyday
My BCE link takes them to current BCE offer and the page shows:
Amex logo | My Account | Cards | Banking etc. <--- do not use
Your Referred Card | Personal Cards | Business Cards <--- ok to use for other cards (you'll still get credit)
Blue Cash Everyday Card
Platinum card, it's usually 80,000 but like others currently crossed out and showing 150,000 plus the $200. Details showing are $6000 in purchases over the first 6 months, and that the $200 is via statement credits over the first three months if applied for by 6/7/23.
Delta skymiles, usually 40k and currently 70k skymiles. $2000 spend in first 6 months.
Marriott brilliant, normal 95k bonvoy points, $5000 spend in 3 months. Nothing unusual.
At least, that's what is showing on my account.

And you can also get potentially a LOT more than $1500 out of the points if transferred to airlines- especially if booking premium airfares.
So beating the AF by quite a lot, for the first year anyway, is trivially easy.... if you can keep making it worthwhile after that is a lot tougher unless you happen to get near full value out of the various credits (or a good retention offer for year 2)
4x points on dining and supermarkets
$120 Uber credit ($10/month)
$120 Grubhub Credit ($10/month)
It's a much more straightforward card with a nice sign on bonus. For most people this is a better card than the Platinum
The only reason I keep a platinum is for the lounge access. For frequent travelers that alone is pretty much worth the annual fee. Otherwise you have to take advantage of a bunch of different perks and offers to make it worthwhile. Kind of have to jump through hoops where with the Gold it's pretty simple especially if you already use Uber/Uber eats and/or GrubHub
