Amex NLL Offers: 160K Business Platinum and 100K Business Gold (more targeted)

42

Update 10/30/22: Today, Doctor of Credit reported that that there is another fresh round of no-lifetime-language offers out for the Amex Business Platinum and Amex Business Golds. I checked my account and P2’s and, sure enough, we both had offers for the Business Platinum and were targeted for the Business Gold as well. I applied and was approved for both of us. It’s worth checking your accounts under “featured offers” and/or trying the links below. For both of us, our targeted cards were already-existing Business Platinums.

American Express has yet another round of massive targeted offers for the Business Gold and Business Platinum cards that are both No Lifetime Language offers (NLL). This means that even cardholders who have already had (or currently have) the cards are eligible for the welcome offer. These new links appear to be widely targeted.

The Business Platinum is the best points per dollar of spend offer that we’ve seen thus far at 150,000 Membership Rewards points for $15,000 spend with an additional 10,000 points for spending $1,000 on an employee card needed.

The Business Gold offer has an expiration date of 5/31/23, while the Business Platinum doesn’t have an expiration listed.

The both linkscame from a targeted pop-up that appeared on my wife’s account over the weekend (she was just approved for a second Business Platinum within the last month). It requires you to log-in first and then click the link to find out if you’re targeted.

The Offer

You must log into your account first, then click the link. 

If you see the message below or see a screen with no offer listed, it means you’re not targeted. If you get a pop-up telling you that you are not eligible for the welcome offer, you aren’t.

Keep in mind that both the Business Platinum Dell and airline credits reset on the calendar year.  This means that in the first year of card membership, you can get 3x Dell credits and 2x airline incidentals, adding an additional ~$400 in first year value if you only pay the annual fee once. While the various perks and credits on Amex cards can feel a little “coupon booky,” I find it pretty easy to get full advantage of these two and the wireless service credit as well.

These are obviously a terrific welcome offers if you can use the card and make the spend.  Without even considering the additional perks and credits, the Business Platinum offer will end up being around ~$2400 based on our RRV, whereas the Business Gold would be around $1500.
