The American Express Business Platinum Card is offering a significant welcome bonus of 150,000 Membership Rewards points for new cardholders who meet the spending requirement of $20,000 within the first three months. According to The Points Guy, this bonus can be valued at $3,000 if redeemed effectively.

This card targets businesses with high spending but provides strategies for others to achieve the spending goal. Suggestions include funneling all expenses through one card, prepaying bills like utilities or insurance, and adding authorized users whose spending contributes to the requirement.

Other methods involve paying taxes or rent using a credit card, though these often incur fees. "If you were to pay $20,000 in taxes with this method, you'd pay $364 in fees," which might still be worth it given the value of the bonus. Plastiq is another option that allows payments by card even when vendors don't accept them directly.

The Amex Business Platinum offers extensive benefits such as up to $400 in Dell purchase credits annually and access to airport lounges worldwide. It also includes various statement credits for services like Global Entry or TSA PreCheck and Adobe purchases.

However, potential applicants are advised not to overspend just to achieve the bonus and should avoid carrying a balance that could negate rewards through interest charges. Timing big purchases with the three-month window is recommended for those planning large expenditures soon.

Ultimately, while there are several strategies to meet the spending requirement creatively and responsibly, careful financial planning is essential.
