Reply To: Post your American Express Platinum retention offers here!

[hibbee5]

Hi,

I recently got a retention offer of 50k to keep card open as just days away from 1st full year. Spend has been around £40k. Points have been credited already but seriously considering cancelling anyway as could get 80k plus referral bonus if my wife (currently supplementary cardholder) got the platinum and I became supplementary cardholder. Any risks with this approach? Also, if I became supplementary cardholder, what happens to the hotel status as my wife isn’t a member it’s just me??
