This is an absolutely huge signup bonus for a credit card if you are offered it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'm eligible - I see 150k points if I'm signed in, and only 120k points using incognito mode.
The 250k bonus is after spending $15k in 3 months. Amex Platinum has a $695 annual fee, but you do get a lot of perks, including:
- Centurion airport lounge access
- Annual statement credits for a bunch of things, like Dell purchases, Clear Plus, Airline fees, Indeed job postings, wireless phone providers, etc
- 5x points back on airline purchases
250k bonus points is worth over $5k in travel.
