Quick Thoughts

This referral offer is targeted in that only some Business Platinum cardholders have the ability to generate a link good for it — but the offer itself is publicly available to anyone applying through a qualifying referral link (like the one on our Business Platinum card page).

Those Business Platinum cardholders who have the ability to generate a 200k link should see it advertised in the “refer a friend” section of their login – it shows the bonus that you’ll get as a Business Platinum cardholder and that your friend will get 200,000 bonus Membership Rewards points. If your offer shows 150k like the screenshot below, you’re not eligible. You’re also not eligible if you’re trying to refer from any card that isn’t the Business Platinum. You might sometimes see the 200k offer when referring from a different card, but those referrals never show 200k for everyone and so we can’t use them.

American Express Business Platinum 200,000 point referral offer - wrong offer

We want your 200k offer referral links

Here on Frequent Miler, our Best Credit Card Offers page always links to the best available welcome bonus, even if that’s not an affiliate link. The Best Offer for the Amex Business Platinum card through affiliate channels is for only 150,000 Membership Rewards points. That’s why you’ll see many other points and miles sites hawking that inferior version.

However, we always present the offer that allows new applicants to earn the best available bonus, even when it doesn’t benefit our site through affiliate commissions. Seeing as referral earnings are limited to 100,000 points per person and that’s maxed out after just a few referrals, we want to share the wealth by using readers’ referral links on the site. We 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 Business 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 $20,000 in purchases. Not all Amex Business Platinum cardholders can generate that superior offer, so it’s worth checking first. If your referral link only shows the 200k offer when opening the referral link in certain ways or in certain browsers, your link won’t be eligible.

This is what your refer-a-friend page will show if you’re targeted for the increased link.

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 leave your link as a reply to our first comment on this referral thread. We’ll then work our way through the them 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.

Comments on the blog with links automatically get caught in our spam filter and won’t post, so please don’t share your links in the comments here. It’ll just get deleted. Instead, that Facebook thread is the only place we’ll be accepting referral links (sorry if you’re not on Facebook).

Also, please don’t share a non-200k referral link as that’ll get deleted too. If you leave your link on the referral thread and it subsequently gets deleted by us, it’s because it either doesn’t always display the 200k offer or your link was left in the wrong place.

I have received offer in mail as well as when logging into account for 250,000 points with $15,000 Applied and have received card. Not really sure how or if has link to refer.

BenA

And as soon as I post , I see the link to the article about this offer.

Adam

Does it usually take several days to be allowed into the facebook group?

Dan

Thanks for allowing us to get a referral bonus. It’s great that you do this often with Amex referrals. Just wondering if you ever request referral links for other cards like the Chase Ink?

Chris

I have a biz plat under my real LLC. I just used this link and applied as sole prop and was instantly approved for another, no tricks, no popup. Wow…

Billy

I’m seeing a 200k MR / $20k / 3 month referral offer on my business platinum as of today. Any interest in this link? I see the current best offer is listed as 150k on the best offers page for the Biz Plat.

Stephen Pepper

Yep, we will be setting up a new referral thread on Facebook for this offer soon.

Manny

Yesterday saw my referral pulled up 250k in Incognito mode. Are you interested i. that referral link.

Stephen Pepper

Not if it’s only available in incognito mode

Daniel A

What are the chances Amex will bring the 250k offer to referral? I’ve been trying and trying to get it and keep getting 200k 🙁 The $20k in 3 months is a reach for me so it’s got to be a great offer. And after reading about 250k and even 300k offers, this simply doesn’t cut it for me.

Stephen Pepper

There’s certainly a chance that’ll happen, but it’s far from being guaranteed.

Teri

250K? But what’s the spend? $20K as well?

Daniel A

Yes. See the post with Greg’s Picks for details. It was first reported a month or two back. People are finding through incognito, VPN, etc. It’s typical Amex playing games. I hate them for it, but definitely not going to take anything less than the best offer.

Teri

$20K for 200K is indeed a lot, considering there is a 150K for $10K with the business gold card that’s readily available. Less points but half the spend, plus much lower annual fee.

Michael

Just got approved for 250k offer with $20k spend yesterday. Got it in incognito mode though.

David Johnson

Lifetime language?

Stephen Pepper

Yes

dave

Please put that in the articles moving forward it’s a very important detail.
