Our Verdict
If you have any questions about upgrade offers, please read this post before asking any questions. General American Express questions are likely answered here. You should be able to get the bonus points from this offer even if you’ve held the Gold card before, so might be worth considering from that perspective as you’d normally not be able to get a sign up bonus like this again.
