(Dead) Amex Business Gold Card: Best-ever 200k referral offer

Update: It looks like Amex has killed all of the 200k referral links. If you have one that still works, please e-mail us.

So much for the Amex Points Parade™ slowing down. Earlier today, Amex made some significant changes to the personal Gold card, increasing the annual fee, adding credits. At the time, it also brought back a stellar 90K referral offer (for the consumer Gold).

But it hasn’t stopped there.

We’re now seeing a referral offer for the Amex Business Gold the gives a whopping 200,000 Membership Rewards points after $15,000 in spend. This is the first time that we’ve seen the Business Gold crack 200K and the offer is double the current affiliate version of 100K that you’ll see on most points and miles sites. It’s so good, in fact, that it’s now the #1 credit card offer on our Best Offers Page.

This Business Gold card welcome offer has “once-in-a-lifetime” language and is officially not available to those who have or have had the card before.

We’ll be collecting reader referral links for those who were targeted so we can share them with others on our Best Offers Page. The details on how to participate with your link (if you are targeted) are below.

Quick Thoughts

If you’re in 2-player mode and one of you has the 200K referral showing on your card, applying via a household referral would be even better, with a total haul of 225K – 240K Membership Rewards, depending on how much your referral bonus is. That’s a lot of cheddar

Although this offer is absolutely stellar, we’re still seeing a targeted 150K offer that’s available to some folks, as well as a 155K offer with no lifetime language. As of writing, those versions are still showing the old minimum spend of $10,000, which might be more appealing for some, as it’s $5K lower and actually has a higher rate of return on the spend. If that’s you, it’s worth seeing if you can generate either one before applying for the 200K.

This referral offer is targeted, meaning that only some Business Gold card holders have the ability to generate a link for it — but the offer itself is publicly available to anyone applying through a qualifying referral link (like the one on our Business Gold card page). Those cardholders who have the ability to generate a 200K link will see it advertised in the “refer a friend” section of their login — it shows the bonus that you’ll get as a Business Gold cardholder and that your friend will get 200,000 points (whereas most of us only have a referral offer for 100K points for our friends).

We want your 200K offer referral links

Here at Frequent Miler, our Best Credit Card Offers page always links to the best available welcome offer, even if that’s not an affiliate link. The best offer for the Amex Business Gold card through affiliate channels is currently only 100,000 Membership Rewards points, that’s why you’ll see many other points and miles sites hawking that inferior version.

However, we always present the best offer for new applicants, even when it doesn’t benefit our site through affiliate commissions. We want to share the wealth by using readers’ referral links on the site. We will need reader links for the 200K offer.

If you’d like to have your referral link shared on the Best Offers page, here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Check your referral link

You can find your referral link here, or by logging in to your American Express account and scrolling down to the ‘Refer A Friend’ link at the bottom of the page and clicking on that. Note that you might need to change your card at the top of the referral page so that your Amex Platinum card is selected.

Before sharing your referral link, please ensure that it generates a link to the offer giving new applicants 200,000 Membership Rewards points after $15,000 in purchases. Not all cardholders can generate the superior offer, so please check first.

Step 2: Join the Frequent Miler Insiders Facebook group

If you’re already part of our Facebook group, you can skip this step. If you’re not a member though, you’ll need to join this group. Note that you’ll be asked a question or two (depending on if you try joining on mobile or desktop) to ensure you’re not a bot. Please answer that question(s), otherwise you won’t get admitted to the group in order to do step 3.

Step 3: Share your link on the dedicated thread

We have a dedicated thread set up to share your 200K link, so please only share your referral links here as a reply to the first comment. We’ll then work our way through the links for as long as this increased offer is only available via referrals. We will rotate through links there regularly to try to give as many readers as possible a chance at picking up a referral bonus.

Please don’t share your referral link as an individual post in the group as it’ll just get deleted. Please also don’t share a non-200K referral link as that’ll get deleted too.

Comments on the blog with links automatically get caught in our spam filter and will not post. Instead, the above Facebook thread is the only place we’ll be accepting referral links (sorry if you’re not on Facebook).
