Don't miss this card's biggest-ever bonus of 200,000 points by Emily Thompson, Newsletter & Partnerships Editor When I saw this new limited-time offer, I had to do a double take. The Business Platinum Card® from American Express always makes the list of the most valuable offers available, but it's recently gotten a major refresh — and upped the ante with an even higher limited-time offer. Right now, when you add The Business Platinum Card from American Express to your wallet, you can earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $20,000 in the first three months from account opening. Since TPG's October 2025 valuations peg Membership Rewards points at 2 cents apiece, this bonus is worth a staggering $4,000 — the best publicly available offer we've ever seen for this card! With those points and Amex's impressive lineup of transfer partners, you could book lie-flat business-class seats to various European cities via Air France-KLM Flying Blue starting at just 60,000 miles each way, or to Japan via ANA Mileage Club for as little as 110,000 miles round-trip (plus taxes and fees). Plus, the card's recent refresh means it offers more value year after year than ever before. If you're thinking about adding the Business Platinum to your wallet, don't put it off — this best-offer bonus likely won't stick around for long. Want to learn more?
