Our Verdict
There is a no NLL (no lifetime language) offer on the no annual fee card as well. Both links were retrieved from e-mails, so I suspect these offers are meant to be targeted but aren’t for whatever reason. Keep in mind there is significant risk involved when it comes to these offers. Personally I’m giving them a miss due to American Express’ track record of handling things like this, but up to you if you want to apply.
The best bonus on this card is normally 150,000 points so really only attractive if you’ve already had the card before. Because of that and the risk involved I won’t be adding it to the best credit card bonus page for now. If you have any questions about American Express, read this post first.
