175k points for American Express platinum to spend $8k in 6 months. …Does this kind of offer come around often or is this a pretty significant intro offer? Already have CSR, is Amex Platinum worth the monthly fee if I already have CSR?

That's a massive SUB

Relatively atypical for the personal card. Business often gets 175/200/250 but requires significantly more spend.

If you are considering, add the gold first so you can get SUB for both. Amex enacted some fine print last winter saying you can go up the premium card ladder (gold->plat) and get subs for both but cannot go down (plat->gold).

Thank you for this! I ended up calling them anyway and they assured me they would put my sign on bonus back to the original 175k points for the platinum.

Considering it was hovering at 80-100k (125k for Resy referral) for $6k spend all of last year that’s a deal

FYI after ruminating on it, I think I got this offer because I just started using my Amex card again. I’ve been a basic Amex card holder since 2014 and have very minimal recurring charges on that card. In the last month I’ve started using the card more for some everyday purchases. They’ve probably seen more activity from me and swooped in with their “40th anniversary of platinum” offer. …Idk if that sounds logical but makes sense to me. So if any of you have an old card that doesn’t get used much, could be interesting to try it out and see if you get any good upgrade offers.
