Our Verdict
Last year we saw 60k + $250 which was the best-ever offer, and now they’ve upped it to 75k+ $250, best ever. An argument could be made for those in 2-player mode to use the public offer of 60,000 points via referral link for the 4x referral offer, depending on how you value that 4x earning rate.
If you’re thinking of applying, make sure you read these things everybody should know about American Express cards first. We’ll add this to our list of Best Credit Card Offers. The 125k + 15x small business offer from Resy on the American Express Platinum card is still showing as well and there’s a new increased offer on the Green card as well.
