Find out your offer by Becky Blaine, Managing Editor, Newsletters There's a new way to check your eligibility (with no impact to your credit) and find out if you qualify for an offer as high as 175,000 points on The Platinum Card® from American Express. Points are awarded after you spend $8,000 on purchases within the first six months of card membership. Welcome offers vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer, especially if you have received a welcome offer on this card in the past, but there's no harm in checking. With TPG valuing Membership Rewards points at 2 cents apiece in our current valuations, your welcome offer could be worth up to a whopping $3,500! The Amex Platinum is packed with swanky travel perks like lounge access and hotel elite status, and statement credits for airlines, Clear Plus, hotels, shopping, digital entertainment and much more that help offset the $695 annual fee (enrollment is required for select benefits; see rates and fees). Some of my favorite redemptions with my Amex Membership Rewards points have been for lie-flat business-class flights to Europe with Air France-KLM Flying Blue from 60,000 miles or booking short domestic flights on American Airlines from 8,250 British Airways Avios. They can also be great for hotel stays with Hilton or Marriott, especially with occasional transfer bonuses. With welcome offers as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards points, it's a great time to check your eligibility.
