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.

Hi today i again recived upgrade offer from plat travel to plat chg extended from 1st march to 31st march with 135k bonus points. Last time inapplied it got rejected because of income 25lkhs issue . But now i got plat travel mrcc and gold chg. I know if upgrade offer sent through gold chg do not require income to be updated straight upgrade but agin they sent on plat chg wondering tontake it or pass it.

I normally use for hotel like Taj Oberoi marriot holiday inn radisson blu and sometimes palace hotels of Taj and their subsidarys. and flights amex uses only for Air india or other airline except vistara. Sometimes i load wallets pay insurance and utility bills for bsnl and electricity. Insurance mr points not given on plat travel but counted for milestone. Gold chg allows for uility abd fuel. But getting HP to accept is a enormus task mostly they avoid stating only on company operated pumps.

I meant as a broad monetary figure 🤐 Trying to gauge what kind of spends I should look at for the upgrade offer

Nothing specific I think. Most of my spends were in gyftr vouchers and sometimes in jewels & education fees (~6L in 1year). I also got the invite to upgrade.
Based on posts in the forum, everyone who is having some decent spends & credit profile is receiving the upgrade.

Above is only your interest for the card.

After this, you will get a call from Amex CC Rep explaining the fees and other details and share the platinum charge application link. You will be have to submit that first.

i think no new application for upgrade from gold charge to platinum charge , some comments in our forum mentioned that no need to submit new application for upgrade if already having gold charge

Yes i read it and it is also in their tnc but thebupgrade offer i received was on my plat travel card not on gold cc. Again today they have send me upgrade to metal plat chg when i had already submitted it on 12th. Not sure why they sent it again.

Was curious to know, whether your spends on Plat Travel is more than on Gold card? And was that the reason for you to get the upgrade offer on Plat travel over Gold ?

Amex sending upgrade offer on your account that is unique number mentioned in welcome letter probably they knows you having gold charge too , I suggest you to touch chat option and ask them captured your request or need to place again.

I got the upgrade offer today on my Gold charge. I barely spend 6k per month on my card just for milestone and sometimes I don’t even spend that much.

Gc is a recent addition abt 2 months plat travel i use a lot i have another 50k to complete the milestone of 4lkhs. 3 months back they sent email to upgrade it tonplat chg by amex rep but got rejected sue to income issue. Their AI rejects it if u 25lkhs or more is not selected but i have seen some have received even less than 20lkhs income or less than that some amex rep help customer to just input 25lkhs and it approves and no income doc asked for it. Some are lucky some are not. Sab moh maya
