Also: Fly business class to Japan for 35K Amex points April 30, 2024 [THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily NEWSLETTER]( [THE POINTS GUY]( Even more elevated offers by Summer Hull, Director of Content [TPG | Hero Image] Sometimes, there are both publicly available credit card welcome offers and then some even bigger offers available to select folks who can get more bonus points. One place to check and see if you might be able to get an even better welcome bonus for certain cards is the [CardMatch tool](. Very recently, we have found out that there are some new targeted bonuses available in the CardMatch tool for [The Platinum Card® from American Express]( ... and we want you to be the first to know the details. In addition to the already huge 125,000-point and 150,000-point bonuses for the Platinum Card that have been available to select qualified TPG readers in CardMatch for a while, we are now hearing about an added 100,000-point offer and even a massive 175,000-point bonus offer! The public offer for the Amex Platinum is 80,000 bonus points after meeting the spending requirements, so any of those [four elevated offers ranging from 100,000 to 175,000 bonus points]( would easily get me to apply and not look back if given the chance. All of these targeted and public welcome offers for the Amex Platinum Card have the same spending requirement to earn the bonus points — $8,000 on eligible purchases on the card in the first six months of card membership. According to TPG’s latest valuations, a 175,000-point bonus would be worth an unbelievable $3,500. To help with the daydreaming, here are some of [our favorite ways to use those Membership Rewards points]( for amazing trips. Whether you’ve checked before or are doing so for the very first time, I highly recommend seeing if you are lucky enough to get in on one of the biggest bonuses of the year by [checking CardMatch]( today.
