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.

Yes, go ahead, Plat charge is very good for first year. But no matter how Amex may convince you, Don't renew it for 2nd year, it is not worth for 2nd year unless they offer you atleast 100K MR.

It is expensive and less benefits from 2nd year but since I wanted to try my hands on golf will check.US Card has more benefit and less cheaper comapered to indian version. They make money in india rather than US.

Not even membership fees, Everything else is better in US/UK version, 2 MR=3 Marriott points there.

Platinum Charge is too expensive for us....for me MRCC, Platinum Travel or may be gold charge is ok

They always like to keep the limit flexible and deliver them before rather than keeping a strict deadline and then delaying it(like other banks🪓).
