Thoughts
American Express is on a run right now. Objectively this could make sense – it’s somewhat well known that first time Amex customers get the best offer starting with the Platinum card. This change could force you to progress in order; Green – Gold – Platinum. Usually means lower offers. Or you get large offer on the first Platinum, then nothing on the Gold should you choose to add it. My thought any way…
