Did this help you make a decision?
Can I get this?
This is a public offer.
Can I get this bonus if I have held a card before?
The bonus holding rule for this offer is unverified. Check the offer terms before applying.
See exclusion periods for every Australian issuer →What must I spend?
$5,000 within 90 days — about $1,667 per month. The terms on this page don't record when the clock starts or how long the bonus takes to arrive after you qualify — check the issuer terms for both.
Can I get the card?
No minimum income recorded — this does not mean there is none.
Lending approval is separate from bonus eligibility: approval gets you the card, the conditions above get you the bonus.
How long is this available?
No recorded end date — this does not mean it never ends. Availability is rechecked against the issuer page.

Should I keep it after the first year?
Renewal costs $1,450 each year ($1,450 annual fee) — first year was $1,450.
Second year pays 100,000 American Express points if you still hold the card into year two. The recorded terms don't detail the exact second spend hurdle — check the issuer terms before counting on it.
Ongoing earn: 2.25x American Express points per $1.
Keeping pays off only if you meet the second-year conditions and use the points and benefits enough to cover $1,450/yr.
Year-two points aren't dollar-valued here: the redemption catalogue may change before renewal, so recheck the rate then.
Personalised referral offer. Receive 225,000 Membership Rewards points after $5,000 eligible spend in the first 3 months from approval. Receive another 100,000 points after $5,000 eligible spend in the first 3 months of the second membership year, if you remain on the Platinum Card. New American Express Card Members only: no Amex Australia Card now or in the prior 18 months. Amex can change or withdraw this personalised offer at any time.
