Some users are now seeing an offer to upgrade to the AMEX Business Platinum and earn a 130,000-point upgrade bonus. You need to spend $10,000 within three months. AMEX cards are subject to the once-per-lifetime bonus rule, so if you have not yet applied for the Business Platinum before, you could apply first to earn the welcome bonus and then upgrade another card.
The current welcome bonus is also 130,000, the same as this upgrade bonus.
