Got targeted for Amex platinum 100k. Is it worth it? Is there a higher targeted offer?
Considering doing it since no more personal card for BCG expenses. Also have CSR fwiw.

Take it, put some spend on it, cancel it (or the CSR) once the bonus points are in

Be careful cancelling too early - AmEx has been much more active in clawing back points/bonuses if it even seems like you are trying to play them

I think if I switch to Amex it would be for as long as I stay at this job since only way to get points on expenses now. Only issue is I have a bunch of CSR points I need to unload now.
