Our Verdict
The public BGR offer is usually 25k, now 50k, and this 75k offer is the best we’ve seen. This targeted offer has been coming fairly regularly over the past year, and a new slew of emails from Amex were just sent out with this offer.
The biggest advantage of this targeted offer is that it doesn’t show the once-per-lifetime limitation usually shown on Amex cards, and many have reported getting the bonus more than once using these links.
If you aren’t seeing the offer, these tips might help:
- Login to your Amex account first, then click the link above
- Try the link on mobile
Being that the annual fee is waived the first year, it’s well worth considering applying for the card if you get the offer. Check out the post 19 Things Everybody Should Know About American Express before applying.
