150k = 300 "cash' on amazon credit.
Or about 750+/- dollars worth of hotel bookings instead.

Clearly you are better off actually using the points to book hotel stays.
Plus if you can get 5th night free then you get even more value out of booking with points.

Amex signups are once per lifetime, so it's almost never worth taking an inferior offer unless you're just entirely out of other options and have major spend coming.

Only thing I notice with Hilton devaluation of points and dynamic pricing, in most metro areas, you can't get 2-3 nights with these points. Please share any details of recent changes unless youve seen good redemptions.
I second this. One night usually cost around 70k points, so with a free night you'll get max of 3 nights with this offer. Not worth putting a ding on your credit

Incorrect. AmEx "lifetime" is five years now. After five years you can re-apply and get the bonus.

In addition, they frequently send out offers without the lifetime language. I was just approved today for a Business Gold 100k offer even though I've already had this card and closed that account in April 2022.

I mean, not incorrect, since that's Amex stated policy---once per lifetime.

There's been anecdotal evidence "lifetime" resets every 7 years- yours would be the first time I'm hearing 5-- do you have a citation for that actually being the policy now?

I've had Amex cards for over a decade and gotten ONE no lifetime language mailer in that time (biz platinum)....so I think your use of "frequently" might also be overstating things.... (you can find no-lifetime-language links for delta amex cards moderately often too but delta points are kinda garbage)

Also the no-lifetimes are also routinely worse than the better never-had-before offers- hence why you always want to wait for the best-ever offer before using up your never-had-before slot.... for example you got 100 biz gold, while never-had-it-before folks can sign up for 180k (some even getting 190k)

Doctor of Credit reports 5-6 years. One Mile At A Time reports 7. My experience confirms. Definitely not "once per lifetime" If you knew it was once per seven years, then why not state that disclaimer instead of "once per lifetime"?

Regarding "frequently".... well I've had (2) Plat cards within a five year period. (2) Biz Plat within a three year period. (3) Gold Personals 2016, 2017 then again in 2020. And (3) Gold Biz cards opened in 2015, 2021 and now 2023. I keep the DL Plat and Hilton Aspire open because of the annual benefits otherwise I bet I'd have more data points on those too.

My latest Gold offer was 100k for $10k spend in six months instead of the usual three. Also no additional cardmember needed to get the full 100k. I anticipate a minimum of one offer for authorized cardholder for another 10k points for $1 or 2k spend to popup on my AmEx offers in the next few months. So 110k points for $12k spend on the third churn is good enough for me. Applause

Because once per lifetime is Amex official policy.

Quote from American Express actual policy on new card bonuses :
Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product

7 years is how long things typically stay on a credit report, which is why that's usually reported by blogs as you suggest as what a "lifetime" is.


But none of that changes the original point I was making- which is that you should not, if you've never had that specific card, accept a lower-than-usual signup bonus, since you are locking yourself out of the better bonus for (at least) many years,

You can post 'once per lifetime' and I'll advise it's actually a maximum of once per seven years. For the CC newbs, the interpretation of the AmEx T&C is significant.

Another point the newbs need to be made aware of when considering adding an AmEx card to their portfolio is the max of five open AmEx cards per person; regardless of personal/biz. And they need to know the difference between an AmEx credit and AmEx charge card and how that factors into the max of five cards.

Regarding the original point, absolutely agree with that.

Just for clarity for those newbs---- it's max of 5 Amex credit cards open at the same time.

So charge cards don't count against your max of 5 credit cards...

To my knowledge the cap on CHARGE cards is 10.... (and you'd need multiples of the business cards to hit that since there's not that many charge cards anymore from Amex)

The 5 credit card limit is actually an active blocker for me right now, as my BBP and AED are keeper cards for spend/offers, as are my Aspire and Brilliant for their respective credits/benefits, leaving me just one free "credit" slot with Amex that I have to rotate 1 new card into each year (currently Hilton biz card, which replaced a BCP)... though barring non-lifetime offers I've already been through most of the non-delta credit card SUBs anyway.

Current charge cards are Plat, Gold and Green. So Pers + Biz is six. Unless I'm overlooking something, don't see how anyone could reach the max of ten. Is it possible to get multiple of the same type biz card with different companies/tax IDs? I always thought it was actually linked to the cardholders SSN. So even if an individual has different companies, they could still only get one AmEx Biz Plat for example.

I'm also capped with the five right now. Waiting for the 12 month mark to hit on my Bonvoy Biz card so I can close it then get me under the five. This is another point for newbs - do NOT close an AmEx card until the annual fee posts around the 12 month mark. if you don't like their retention offer then you can close it and get that AF reversed. Closing it prior to 12 months could alert the RAT squad and result in a clawback.

Funny enough one way to get multiples of an amex biz card is... targeted no-lifetime-language offers-

It'd still be challenging to get to 10 this way (and financially kind of dumb unless you can squeeze a LOT of value out of the coupon book these cards have become relative to their annual fees), but theoretically possible I guess?

Indeed that's why that otherwise useless hilton biz card is still open, don't want a SUB clawback and I don't hit 12 months till March.... (which is also when I drop under 5/24 for Chase cards so probably the IHG biz will be first on my list before whatever Amex has around)

No Amex marriot biz in the cards for me though as I've already got the Chase one and you can't have both... (and the chase one is the same free annual night for a lower annual fee)

Do you get a free night reward for the $95 annual fee like Marriott and Hyatt provide each year?
