Targeted 30K Bonus to Downgrade Amex Platinum Card to Gold

Targeted Bonus to Downgrade Amex Platinum Card to Gold

American Express is targeting several Amex Platinum cardholders with an upgrade offer of 30,000 Membership Rewards points. You might be wondering how you can upgrade an Amex Platinum Card?

Well this is actually a downgrade offer to the Amex Gold Card, which can be a great option for those who don’t want to keep paying the $695 annual fee. The offer is showing up in accounts online, or sent out by email. Check out the details below,

Offer Details

Earn 30,000 Membership Rewards Points after you spend $1,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Upgrading is simple – Your account number will not change and any existing Additional Card(s) will also be upgraded. You can continue using your existing Card(s) until you receive the new Card(s).

Guru’s Wrap-up

This is an interesting offer, which we rarely see from American Express. It also makes more sense now since you wouldn’t be eligible for an Amex Gold Card bonus if you have the Amex Platinum Card.

Let me know in the comments if you have received one of these offers, or if you have a different bonus.
