My Take
This is a strong offer for points that transfer to a lot of airline partners. A lot of people really like the 4x earning possibilities on this card. But it's a card that takes a lot of work to find value in the annual fee, you have to make sure to use all the little credits.
If you're interested in this card, know that getting this offer will make you ineligible to get the a welcome offer on the American Express® Green Card. So to maximize your points you'd want to get that card first. Also if you have (or have had recently) a The Platinum® Card from American Express, you'll be ineligible for this offer.
offer History
Public offer used to generally be 60k. We have seen targeted or referral offers of 90,000 and 100,00 in 2024-2025. Amex recently changed offers on this card to be "up to" certain amounts and you don't know what your offer will be until you start the application. You will see a personalized offer after you start but before your credit is pulled. In the past, highly targeted offers to certain people will be higher.
