all the gold links in the referral thread seem dead

Offer is still available — some links might be dead but not all

Anyone successful generating Personal Platinum 150k referral offer from non-Platinum cards (i.e. from Blue Cash Preferred or Business Platinum cards)?

My SimplyCash biz card doesn’t show increased referral offers, but no problem from Amex Everyday or Blue Cash Everyday links using incognito

Thanks for the confirmation. I generated referral link from Blue Cash Preferred and tried 100+ times using multiple devices/incognito/VPN, but I can only get Platinum 125k offer..

I am using the 150k referral links, but I am getting this error “you are not eligible to receive the welcome offer”, my credit is solid… I have 3 other AMEX cards (since 2014…), how do I bypass this rejection?

Just had the same thing happen. I have one amex card (since 2017/2018?). Not sure what to do

Lifetime language? Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card…

Some data points from my personal experience last few days.

I used one of the links in the referral thread and I saw the 150K/200 offer for Platinum and I applied for the card. The same link another person had downvoted presumably since they did not see the same offer.
Once I got my card I generated a referral link and tried it myself on a few incognito browser windows (mobile and laptop) and out of the 5 times I tried I saw the 150K/200 offer once. Rest of the time I saw 125K/200 and even the plain vanilla 80K bonus. So some weird algo is in use to generate the SUB offer.
I sent the link to a friend and he had the same experience. It was only showing 125K/200 offer. I asked him to try on different devices (mobile, laptop, ipad). On one of the devices he saw the 150K/200 offer and he applied.
I made screen shots of my application with the enhanced SUB just in case. Fingers crossed. My referrer bonus was 15k plus 5% grocery. I’m not sure if a second person uses my referral link whether they would have luck with it or somehow the referral bonus is capped to one person.

Bottom line is that the link in itself does not seem to be determining the SUB. There is some other random component involved. So if you have a link keep trying at different times and different browser on different devices and hopefully you will see the high SUB and when you see that apply immediately. Hope this sheds some light on why some people are not seeing the enhanced offer with their referral link.

Amex popup jail is a sad place to be. Now they don’t even tell you why. Just, no bonus for you.

If I had the Platinum card years ago, can I get the bonus if I apply now?

I had someone successfully apply with my link this morning, but just now someone else tried to apply and after clicking submit it said the offer is no longer available. This person has no previous Amex cards. It is different than pop up jail, and leads to the current public offer. Maybe this offer was truly a mistake and has had its run. Is anyone else seeing similar?

Checked P2’s Amex referral page…unfortunately the link only gives the new applicant 80K for personal Plat (she gets 30K referral bonus + 3 months of +5 pts at supermkts). Most importantly there IS NLL language in for the person applying for the Plat. I’m in the market for a Personal Plat card myself if I can find a solid deal w/o lifetime language. DoC, where is the best place to hunt down referral links …FlyerTalk , Reddit? I’m aware that it’s buyer beware etc.
