There is currently a promotion for 50,000 bonus points for $5000 spend in 6 months. However t&c does not indicate if it is only for new members.

Called Amex but they don't seem to know as well. Have been waiting for an answer for a few days. Anyone knows the answer?

is AMEX targeting card holders with mistresses? so many discount hotel rooms in Singapore. Have they forgotten 98% of their card holders have residences in Singapore?

SG young families like staycations. 24/7 in 4-room HDB in Punggol is boring... :s13:

I like the hotel offers in Singapore like Marriott, Swissotel, and free room upgrade

But the Amex website does list that promotion. And to be honest the 50,000 is the only reason why I would sign up for the card.

I didn't get offered the 50,000 and sadly I don't think it is offered anymore. If got 50,000 points, I will be the first to apply. As it is, there are not enough perks to justify the annual fees.

Are the stack of hotel vouchers + 1 night complimentary stay at Capri by Fraser overseas + access to Tower Club worth the extra $214 to upgrade to Platinum Reserve card?

You also get about 28k bonus miles (50k points) if u spend 5k in first 6 months.
Personally, the bonus miles are worth $200, comparing to similar offer from ANZ. The Capri voucher maybe worth $150. It's up to you if the rest of vouchers and discounts can make up the difference.
If u dine out frequently, Amex dining offers can be helpful.

I just realised u already have platinum. Why don't u call support and ask them what vouchers they provide.

I just spoke to them. They're providing 5 new hotel discount vouchers on top of the 3 existing ones from Swissotel. New hotel vouchers are from dorsett, naumi, naumi liora, Adonis and Oasia Novena.

Also 4 complimentary bottles of wine from some wine shops in Singapore.

It's possible to get the upgrade while keeping the $321 AF. So you get the benefits at no extra cost.

When I called in to downgrade my Singapore issued plat charge to the normal platinum, the RM offered the plat reserve at the same $321 fees, which I've not paid a single time since. I downgraded because I got the US issued platinum, which is way better and cheaper. Check with your RM for more details.

The Singapore issued plat reserve offers those as well, doesn't need to be the charge.

Why do you need to carry both? I use mainly Singapore issued cards in Singapore and US issued cards elsewhere.
