PLATINUM EDGE. Now with 15,000 points & $200 Travel Credit
Hi.
It looks like the platinum edge has changed slightly. For some it'll be for the worse, but for others, it'll be better.
Basically, the new referral offer replaces the complimentary flight with a $200 travel credit when applied for using a referral link. The standard AMEX page page still offers 10,000 points and a complimentary flight.
I wonder if the standard offer will soon follow in offering a travel credit in lieu of a free flight? [like the explorer card]. Indeed, I'm curious if AMEX will try to convert existing plat edge holders to the travel credit card once renewal comes up?
So the basic offer looks a like this:
With the Platinum Edge Credit Card, you receive complimentary enrolment in the Membership Rewards Ascent program[SUP]4[/SUP].
A $200 travel credit will definitely be easier to use for some as it expands the base that you can effectively recoup the annual fee.
Anyhow, should you find this offer attractive, I would of course be highly appreciative if you used my referral link.
