Our Verdict
This is an all time high for a public offer, previous best was American Express Platinum 125,000 Points + 15x Shop Small/Restaurant For 6 Months (Resy Offer). Offer is also showing on referral links making it even better if you can refer a friend/be referred, feel free to find and share a referral here. This offer is worth doing if you get value from the benefits of the card due to the $695 annual fee. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses. Read these things everybody should know about American Express before applying.
