Guru’s Wrap-up

The offer is targeted. On top of that, you must be eligible for the bonus. If you have had this card in the past, you can not get a bonus again. Not sure what card you’ve had? Here’s an easy way to check. If you are eligible, then it’s a great opportunity to add a big chunk of points to your membership rewards balance. You can get the signup bonus once for each flavor of the Platinum card.

100,000 Membership rewards points is as good as it get nowadays for Platinum cards. But keep in mind that you need to pay the $550 annual fee and cashing in on airline fee reimbursement is no longer easy. On the other side, you get all the travel perks that come with Platinum cards, so there’s definitely lots of value if you’re able to maximize everything that the card offers.
