[Dead] American Express Pre-Approval Referral Offers (No Lifetime Language) [Ends 1/9/19]
Unfortunately these offers are no longer available.
Update 1/7/19: Friendly reminder that these pre-approval referral offers end on 1/9/19. Fingers crossed a new round of people is targeted.
Update 12/09/18: Some bonuses have started posting from these offers. Just keep in mind our warning. To discuss these deals click here.
American Express has started sending out e-mails offering existing cardholders the ability to refer up to two friends for a pre-approved offer. The subject lines for these offers are ‘you’re invited to share a pre-approved offer’ and I’ve seen offers for the Platinum & SPG personal card. I’m not sure why they are calling these pre-approved offers, as they have zero idea who you will refer. I doubt they will let me refer somebody with a bankruptcy on file and approve them for example.
That being said these offers are interesting for the simple fact that they don’t contain the standard ‘Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card. We may also consider the number of American Express Cards you have opened and closed as well as other factors in making a decision on your welcome offer eligibility.’ language. One reader applied for one of these offers and despite having the card previously there was no pop up box informing them that they would not be eligible for the bonus. The downside is that you can only refer two friends. The actual application page also requires you to verify the e-mail address the offer was sent to. If these do indeed bypass the lifetime language, then they will be highly sought after.
Feel free to leave your emails in the comments to refer or get referred. Also please note some idiots are sending out regular referral links, make sure you double check any offers you receive to ensure they don’t have the lifetime language.

As an aside, does Amex tolerate a little MS for MSR on co-branded cards? I couldn’t help myself but buy fee-free VGCs at a store that provides L3 data to Amex. But I bought them because they were fee-free, and not because I wanted to MS.
It’s always tough to tell what AMEX will do, but buying gift cards isn’t against any rules, and AMEX is heavily used by companies and companies often buy gift cards. The only time I have heard people have trouble is when they are buying $1500 in gift cards every week from Staples in order to hit their MSR. They can definitely still make a case it’s for a business, but AMEX may want additional proof in such cases. A few hundred in GCs isn’t even going to be a blip to them.
In my last job I was a team manager and we had company AMEXs and I was buying a few hundred in gift cards every month for various things, it’s definitely not unusual behavior.
Thanks a lot for your response! That’s certainly reassuring. Mine’s a personal card, though, but I only bought 3 Gift Cards, so I hope Amex won’t care. I’m okay with not receiving points for those GC purchases.
On cobrands I got the SPG Lux bonus with a lot of MS and no consequences yet,
Thanks for the info! Yours is the type of DP I was looking for.
They generally don’t care on cobranded. On MR cards it specifically states gift cards don’t count.
Thanks for the info!
On a different note, I self referred to the business plus with lifetime language but got no pop-up on application.
Where’d you get a no-lifetime-language offer?
He didn’t. The phrase “with lifetime language” is the key.
Oops, misread that.
I read a DP on Reddit that a person didn’t get sign-up bonus, although he hadn’t come across a popup.
My wife got referral offer for Platinum for 75k miles.
If any interest let me know.
Thanks for the offer! I’m interested! Kevinreed64@gmail.com

Invitation sent. Unfortunately she’ll get only 10k MRs as she already gotten 45000 from referrals.
I hope you guys get 75k.
Take care.
I have 2 75k platinum referrals if anyone is in need 🙂
Question, since there’s no lifetime language, if I get the Platinum card cancel in a year, I still can get it again with sign up bonus?
No. No lifetime language is only helpful if you’ve already had the card. The next time you get it, the offer terms you have at that time of the second application are what apply, not what you do today.
Yes please! mda009@jefferson.edu. Thank you!

I wonder if someone could get a second SPG personal. Do they allow two cards of the same type?
Terms specifically state the referral is no good if they currently have the card.
Thanks. I guess if you cancel you would have to wait 30 days.
My Wife got the AMEX Platinum Referral Offer. Not sure what the Rules are on here. But if it’s OK…. and anybody is interested, let me know.
Nice! I’d be interested if available! zane@zanecollins.com
OK…. I’ll email it in a couple minutes… Coming your way
I guess I have one more left. If somebody wants it, shoot me an email at dtcoleman@aol.com. Make sure to include your First Name because the Offer asks for First Name and Email address.
I’m OUT!!! No more left! FYI…. It prompted me to send a 3rd one…. but looks like it showed up on the other end at 60K…. make sure you get the one that says 75K !!! Good Luck
I am interested,please send one to danawang48@gmail.com if you still have one! THANKS!
I received one for the Hilton Amex (No annual fee). I’d get 20k and the applicant gets 100k after spending $1000. It does have a note that states “approval is not guaranteed”.
does it have the “Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product.” language?
No it doesn’t.
I’d like one please aoniukol@gmail.com
Sent one your way!
I’m interested
I’ve got one left if you provide an email for me to send it to.

I still have referral available, are you still looking for it?
I got sent a link already. And applied but went to pending
Could you please send it my way. ivh0208@outlook.com
Just sent to you
I read one article before:
You need to take risk that you will not get the bonus even there was no pop up box informing you that you would not be eligible for the bonus. DP says Amex reserve any rights to withhold the bonus anytime.
Yeah, thinking the same. Maybe better to just get one of the other amex plats instead that’s 60k/$5k
I got a platinum referral that offers 75k points for $5k spend in first 3 months. Email me at dulberger27@gmail.com if interested!
Please disregard as my link is not working for existing cardholders. If applying for your first card feel free to contact me though 🙂
