      @@LukesPointsandMiles I didn’t see a lifetime language on it but it’s for 20K spend in 3 months. 5K higher than the 15K threshold but this card isn’t for the frugal spender.
      I think if you’re someone who needs to do some home improvement projects, new roof, and stuff like that, it would be pretty easy to hit that spend.

    There's totally a refresh coming. I spend pretty big on my business Platinum, and they sent me a paid survey last week asking my opinion about how I would feel about different scenarios of change on the Business Platinum. And one of the scenarios was the 35% rebate going away 😕 As someone who buys 5 tickets, not just one or 2- that rebate is extremely valuable to me, so I'm really hoping not 🤞🏼

    Congrats on the new Biz Plat, Uncle Luke! I totally relate to reason 2. The fewer credits to manage, the better.
    When I applied for it, I had a transaction that would come close to, if not fully, completing the minimum spend. I felt that if I have this level of spend, this would be my only chance to get the card because I don’t think I’ll be spending that much in a short time period again anytime soon.
