Our Verdict

We once saw a better version of this offer with 15x back on dining and shop small. I wouldn’t hold my breath for that one to come back, and this is still a monster offer with up to 375,000 points bonus potential if you max out the restaurant part.

I’m not sure if the recent 150,000 bonus on the personal Platinum card is still available. Regardless, a lot of people will prefer this Resy offer for 125,000 + up to 250,000 points. A downside of the Resy offer is that you can’t use a referral link to signup.
