To Summarise:
If you were waiting to apply for an American Express card, now is the time with the all time high offers.
While these are phenomenal offers, do keep in mind some of the conditions in the fine print – especially this one below:
These offers are only available to new Cardmembers. For current or former Platinum Cardmembers, we may approve your application, but you will not be eligible for these offers. If you receive points in error, we reserve the right to deduct them from your points balance.
Also, apply for a card only if you are sure that you can meet the minimum spend as these all come with a once-a-lifetime bonus and you wont qualify again if you missed meeting the minimum spend.
Finally, note that these offers end on August 03, 2021 i.e. you need to apply by August 03, 2021.
