The benefits page for the The Platinum Card® from American Express is now live so we can confirm what has been added in more detail that we knew before.
For example, we knew about the Equinox credit, but not that it would be $25 a month (which honestly is a drop in the bucket for an Equinox membership that runs over $200 a month…).

New Amex Platinum Bonus Offer
$695. Yes, $695.
New Amex Platinum Welcome Bonus Offer
Earn 100,000 Membership Rewards Points when you spend $6,000 in your first 6 months plus earn 10x points restaurants worldwide and when you Shop Small in the U.S., on up to $25,000 in combined purchases in your first 6 months. Terms apply. (Rates and Fees)
Is it possible that CardMatch might have a better offer? Seems worth checking.
Another also: There are refer-a-friend offer with the referrer being given a whopping 45,000 points and the new cardmember getting 125k + 10x on dining and Shop Small.
If you have a P2, the referral is probably the best way to go, else the Resy offer is the move.
