- 6 months for all other cardholders
The Fine Print

Our Verdict
Keep in mind this enrolls you in auto billing, so remember to cancel. Business Insider is putting more and more content behind a pay wall, but I don’t think I’ve ever come across an article that was behind a pay wall that I couldn’t just read elsewhere.
Hat tip to reader Cliff W
The “Enroll Now” button is blocked by the adblock warning overlay. Classic.
Thank you, I won’t even bother enrolling then.
Overgrown blog full of listicles, clickbait, and recycled ‘evergreen’ content
Try using a amex card issued by a different bank and once you get to that screen you can bypass it, just need the first 6 digits and afterwards you can use any cc
That worked for me, even though that amex card was closed (first 6 digits doesn’t indicate a specific person’s card anyway). For the CC for renewal, it wouldn’t accept an empty VGC nor a $100 MCGC, so I used a regular live CC. I was then able to cancel auto-renew: used the link in the terms, Subscriptions, “don’t bill me again”; it said auto-renew canceled, and the subscription still ends in 6 months.
None of my Amex card works, but my FNBO Travelite works for the 6-month offer. And somehow my cobrand Amex card from China works for the 1-year offer.
And after claiming the offer with the Amex card BIN, any credit card can be used on the checkout page. I just used a VAN from Citi.
Can you share the first 6digits of the chinese amex card?
I Google Image searched AMEX cards and then modified the dummy number by one digit. 377677 worked for the 1 year subscription.
Add this onto the list of worthless Amex benefits right after ShopRunner.
Shoprunner can be pretty useful
Well yea but you can get it everywhere…if I wanted to I could have 15 ShopRunner
memberships
None of my cards worked. Business Platinum, Blue Business, Hilton Aspire, Gold, Green. Weird promo!
Because it’s for partner-issued American Express cards (like Wells Fargo, US Bank, etc.). Your cards are Amex issued.
does it only require first six digit of card? has anyone tried 3rd party amex card
can you cancel right away and keep the subscription until expiry?
actually not working for Personal Plat and Gold
Unable to get it to recognize any of my multiple biz cards – plat, BBP, or centurion. Terms say “This offer is available to all American Express Card Members globally, Corporate Card Members, and Card Members with American Express Cards issued by third parties” but there must be some geographic limitation in play regardless
but it also says “Cardmembers whose Cards are issued by American Express or its subsidiaries are also not eligible for this offer.”
anyone with a propel?
I am going to give it a try. If it works with propel I will update.
Well Fargo Propel world worked!
It works but I can’t click on Claim the offer.
What’s the Icon American Express Card? :-0 Haven’t found anything online about it.
IIRC it’s a card they offer in their LATAM market
