Upgrade Your Amex Card and Get 1,35,000 MR Points

[coolguy1]

Amex plans to start 2024 with a grand reward of 1,35,000 MR points when upgrading to a Platinum Charge card.

Users currently holding Amex Platinum Travel, Amex Platinum Reserve and Amex Gold Charge card are getting these offers.
You can see it in the app, refer to the screenshots attached below.

For the heavy spenders, this is a great deal since you get multiple loyal hotel loyal memberships and do anything concierge service.

If you don't spend a lot of money but feel the points can help, you can still upgrade for the points.


If you don't need the points, you can get the Amex Platinum Travel or the Amex MRCC card which remains the best card for monthly spends between 6K-40K.

The only reason to get it confirmed twice is not to miss out my Fav card Plat Travel during the process.

Nothing like that.

No it will still be active don't worry

Confirmed with Amex customer care. After upgrading to Platinum charge, the Platinum travel will be closed, and there is no option to revert the change.

That’s what being discussed here. Customer care executives and chat agents are not helpful. I had same experience for 5 times from yesterday.

On upgrade request you get call from marketing team and they will confirm that both cards will be active as confirmed by @hrish88 & @Dr. Drake

This is actually a good deal to hold both charge cards, which is not usual.

New Trifecta Plat Travel, Plat Charge, Gold Charge. Which will also provide a flexible option of Gold Collection.

For most of the use cases Gold Charge is better than Plat charge for normal use cases as both provides unlimited 5x in reward multiplier
In addition to that GC provided 1k extra per month on milestone.
So for trifecta
MRCC ,GC , PT is better
Having Plat charge just adds a flaunt value and lounge access to normal users.

With 135000 can we redeem equivalent amazon vouchers which we could via mrcc
I got mrcc upgrade to platinum
Will my mrcc be deactivated on upgrading?

The hotel loyalty memberships are not that great , for most of them their is not much elite recognition

With Axis Magnus gone and Infinia is rare to get, everyone has reached out to Amex cards. Now Amex is on approving spree. Let’s see how well they manage to give retention benefits for their cards.

Marriott Bonvoy GOLD?

I wonder what happens if someone has 3 cards already. Will they become 4?

Can someone hold a quadfecta with Platinum Charge, Platinum Travel, MRCC and Gold Charge?
