We have had an AMEX Gold Card for quite awhile. Lately I have been transferring all of the Membership Rewards points into our Amtrak Guests Rewards account (via Continental One Pass). The problem is I use the points faster than I can earn them. I do have a large family, so when we travel it takes a lot of points.
So I just received an offer from AMEX to "upgrade" to their "Platinum" card. It includes a lot of vey nice benefits that would help our business, but it also includes a one time bonus of 25,000 points. These points can be transferred over to AGR (25,000). But, the card has an annual fee of $450. But it also has a lot of other nice features too, perhaps worth the $450 - without considering the 25,000 points.
Anyone else get this offer? I wonder - if I hold out, will they "up" the offer to 50,000 with a new proposal?
