Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is a good opportunity although we have seen a 75,000 Amex Business Platinum Card upgrade offer is the past. There’s no hard pull when upgrading. You can receive the upgrade bonus even if you’ve had the card previously. You could also possibly still be eligible for future offers on the card, even after the upgrade (assuming you never had the card before).
Let me know if you’re targeted or if you see any different offers.
