Amex Business Platinum 250K Offer
We didn't think Amex could get any crazy with their offers, but they did. The offer is being sent out via USPS. I know you will be checking the delivery alert emails very closely over the next few weeks. The offer has a lot of details.
It is possible to get a 250K offer with a 10K authorized user by calling in. People were getting over the phone to take advantage of the 180k Amex Gold Business offer. It is a radio station.

Amex Biz Platinum 250K Offer: Final Thoughts
Normally, the Business Platinum requires $15,000 in spend within 3 months. The time is doubled by this offer. You can get 2 Amex Biz Platinum offers with only one annual fee. I will take that every day and twice on Sunday. You don't have to have 3 Business Platinum cards in your account.
