Additional card bonus

[bthere79]

hi,

I’m going to need to add my first additional cardholder (amex platinum) at some point in the next six months (sort of flexible around timing) and I’d like to maximise the bonus, which is currently 5,000 points. I’m not sure what the usual range is and whether it varies individually or if it’s the same for everyone.

I’ve read that it can go up to 10k but again I’m not sure if that’s likely to be offered again or what the potential floor is either (is 5k as low as it goes? or do i risk it going lower if i wait?)

any advice/insight will be much appreciated, thanks!

I think 5k is the floor on Platinum, so it might be worth waiting for an enhanced offer, as it has been 10k in the past, however not sure how often the supplementary card has bonus offers.

FWIW, my mum just got 6k MR for adding me as a supplementary for her new Gold card yesterday. The standard bonus is 3k, and the enhanced offer was supposed to end on 21st May, but she still got 6k.
