Our Verdict

For someone in 2-player mode, this referral offer is essentially the same thing as the initial bonus which Amex put out at card launch of 20,000 points. For those in single-player mode, it is worth trying to call in and ask if they have the 20k offer available over the phone (there have been recently reported successes with this method). Otherwise, be sure to apply with a referral link to get at least the 10k bonus.

Please don’t leave referrals in the comments here – leave them on this dedicated referral page by following the instructions there.

Though 20k MR isn’t a ton, the Blue Business Plus card is a nice card to have at 2x everywhere. Being a business card it won’t even show up on your credit report so it’s just a hard pull to swallow, and Amex is usually pretty easy to get approvals with.

Note, it is a credit card and will be subject to Amex’s 5-limit on those. Other Things to Know about American Express Credit Cards can be found here.
