Amex Business Platinum 200K Bonus
American Express is offering a new and much improved welcome bonus for the Amex Business Platinum Card. You can now earn 200,000 Membership Rewards points, for the same spending requirement that we see on the 150K offer, or even lesser public offers. However, this offer is targeted and there’s no direct link to check eligibility. This is showing up as a pre-approved offer in the Amex app, and possibly online accounts as well. But we also have a link for you to check. Let’s check out the details of this Amex Business Platinum 200K bonus.
