Back in January 2026, the AMEX Platinum Charge launched an excellent welcome offer of 98,250 bonus MR points with a minimum spend of just S$3,000.
The most surprising thing? Only existing AMEX customers were eligible. In fact, it was significantly more lucrative than the offer for new-to-AMEX customers, who have to spend S$8,000 to receive 230,000 bonus MR points — of which more than 50% are awarded in the second year, after the payment of another annual fee!
This offer was originally set to lapse at the end of March, but has now been extended till at least 29 April 2026.
Obviously, this offer isn’t as lucrative as it was prior to 23 February 2026, following the devaluation of transfers between Membership Rewards points and airline miles. However, it’s still double the previous offer for existing customers, and like it or not, the pre-devaluation days aren’t coming back.
