Our Verdict

Two readers just mentioned getting this offer, either via popup in their login or via email. If you haven’t had the card before, you’re better off doing this 100,000 + 10% signup bonus offer, but if not eligible for that offer, then this is a really nice deal. If you have any questions about upgrade offers, please read this post before asking any questions. General American Express questions are likely answered here.
