One of my favorite credit cards in my wallet is my Platinum Card from American Express, which I love for a variety of reasons which include American Express Centurion Lounge Access, Priority Pass Select, and Delta SkyClub Access and the annual $200 airline fee credit which is per calendar year. It happens occasionally that there are Amazing 100,000 Point Bonuses for Amex Platinum.
Amazing 100,000 Point Bonus for Amex Platinum
- Enroll for Priority Pass Select Access with Amex Platinum Card
- Maximize Airline Fee Credits With Amex Platinum – $600 In Less Than 13 Months
- Centurion Lounge Access for Amex Platinum Members
- Free Hilton Gold Status for Amex Platinum Cardholders
The regular bonus is normally 40,000 points, which is good deal, but according to our reader Mark, there is a current bonus of 100,000 Membership Rewards points via the CardMatch Tool (as he saw as of Monday July 11, 2016.) There is no guarantee that you will be offered the same as with the CardMatch Tool, your information will be used to match you with offers targeted just for you, which could include lower rates or better rewards. There is no hard pull or credit inquiry preformed to view offers.

Are Membership Rewards Points combine-able with another family member?
You missed some of the other good benefits….
5% back on all BN.COM purchases
5% back on Fedex
5% back on Hertz rentals
The 5% back can either be a credit on your statement or instead of that you can get 2 points for every dollar instead of 1, I think the 5% is a better deal.
