If I upgrade from Amex Gold to Amex Platinum, can I still get the 100k membership reward points if I’m upgrading rather than signing up for a new card?

Unfortunate, thanks for the response

There’s sometimes other sign up bonuses you can try and get by upgrading, i would chat them

Def no, but you’d get a different bonus usually. And you’d be eligible to get the platinum bonus at some point later

The language on Amex bonus offers is that you are not eligible if you've had that card before and (unstated but well known) their look back period is 7 years. Always open the card new to get the bonus before you do any upgrading

It depends on what you get as an upgrade offer, Amex will explicitly tell you the points and spend required

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

So, here it is. I was having joining on last week October as a senior analyst data science in Tiger Analytics. Today I got an call from HR that due to economic recession we are going to delay your date of joining by 2 months. My notice period was of 3 months. So total duration would be 5 months. Infact even after that too they didn't send me revised offer letter. There is something wrong with this company.
