New 230K Bonus for Amex Business Platinum with Business Checking
American Express has sent out a new offer today with a 230,000 Membership Rewards points bonus. This offer was sent by email as a “prescreened” offer to select customers, but there’s also a public link where you can check if you are eligible.
The offer comes as two separate bonuses for a new Amex Business Platinum Card and an Amex Business Checking account. This is similar to the offers that you can normally get for the Business Platinum card, and the newly increased bonus on the Business Checking account. But you also get an extra 20,000 points for completing both offers. Check out the details below.

Guru’s Wrap-up
This is yet another great offer for the Amex Business Platinum Card. The 60K offer for the Business Checking account is available publicly, and the 150K Business Platinum offer has been around for a while. But if you do both, you get an extra 20K for a total bonus of 230,000 Membership Rewards points.
The Amex Business Checking account is also a good option to cash out your points at 1 cent each, if you don’t have a Schwab Amex Platinum card. This offer does not contain the lifetime language either, making it even more attractive. You can apply and get the bonus on the Amex Business Platinum Card again, as long as you haven’t applied in the last 90 days.
