American Express Business Gold Cardholders Get a 25,000 Points Bonus for Referring Friends to Any Card (Ends 2/5)

Update 1/26/20: E-mail has been sent out stating this will end on 2/5. Reminder not to self refer. Hat tip to Commyende.

We posted earlier about a new signup bonus for the Amex Business Gold card. Readers commented there that the bonus for the referrer FROM the Amex Business Gold card has increased to a whopping 25,000 Membership Rewards points.

Other points-earning cards earn either 10k, 15k, or 20k. This 25k offer is a new high and super generous. It still caps at 55,000 points per year, limiting this to just two referrals where you’ll get the 25k.

To review how Amex referrals work, see New Universal American Express Referrals Program, Now Crosses Over to ANY Card). Briefly, you can refer a friend from any Amex card to apply for any Amex card. The new signup bonus for those signing up for the Amex Business Gold card can be had regardless of which card your friend refers you FROM. And the increased 25,000 bonus is for existing Business Gold cardholders who refer a friend to apply for an Amex card, regardless of which card the friend wants to apply for.

Not sure if we are allowed to share referral link.

Are the referral offers themselves better than public offers or are they just juicing up the bonus for the referrer?

Some offers are better than public offer. For example, the Business gold referral offer is 75k MR (50k/5k + 25k/5k) while the public is only 50k/5k (or even less)

When I log in to Amex, I’m only seeing a 10K referral bonus for the gold (and I do have the Amex Gold card). I did receive an email exhorting me to refer someone for the Blue Buziness Plus card and receive a 15K referral bonus.

How to trigger the 25K bonus for the Gold?

This is about Business Gold, not personal Gold.

Can anyone with this card confirm if they are still seeing the 25,000 point referral option to refer others?
