Did a tweet prompt a public Amex Platinum 100k Offer after $3k spend?

Reddit has done it again and a H/T and a half to Physixfan for putting this out. Who knows if the tweets by Nathan W. Lundquist were actually responsible for Amex launching this sick offer, but I think we should blow his Twitter up in thanks anyway. Nate…you’re killing and I like your style. Hit the link below to get an Amex Platinum 100k offer after $3k spend in 3 months.

Update: DEAL IS DEAD

Here are the tweets that Nathan put out: LOVING THIS DUDE’S STYLE!

And then here is the application for what he’s talking about…

Word to the wise: “Screen cap everything and don’t MS” – these are little pearls of wisdom being decimnated on Reddit and I agree with them. Frequent Miler and Miles to Memories have put something out on this as well and I’ll just reiterate – something like this was published earlier this year and a lot of people had their Miles raked back because they weren’t targeted.

Now this app doesn’t need any sort of code to be approved, but something to keep in mind.

Use those miles and transfer to Aeroplan to fly in Lufthansa First Class for just 70k Miles to Europe.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex®  and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.
