Amex “refreshing” Velocity Platinum Card

[MattA]

How does the 50 + 50 SCs work? Does spending on supps count towards those totals too? I'm also wondering if there's any types of spend that doesn't count towards the $25k/$50k totals, eg gov, rates etc.

Assuming it's the same as the current benefit (100SC after $50k spend each year) then yes, supplementals do count -- just hit this on Mrs MattA's card and the 100SCs came through immediately on hitting the $50k spend; it must have been across all cards as the primary card alone wouldn't have met the threshold. We didn't have a huge amount of gov/rates spend but pretty sure these were included in the spend threshold.

Cool. Thanks man.
