The Offer
- American Express have launched a new offer on their Blue For Business credit card. You can get up to 25,000 points, broken down as follows:
- 10,000 points after making your first purchase within the first three months of card membership
- Additional 15,000 points after you spend $5,000 within the first six months of card membership
Card Details
- 1x Membership rewards points on purchases
- 2x points on Uber and on bookings made on the American Express travel website
- Receive 30% more points with the annual relationship bonus
- Annual fee of $0 and additional cardholders can also be added for free
- Standard American Express OPEN benefits
- You cannot transfer these points to transfer partners unless you have another American Express card that allows this
Our Verdict
A previous offer just expired offering the following:
- Get 10,000 bonus Membership Rewards points after making your first purchase within 3 months
- Get 10x MR points at restaurants for six months; max $2,000 in spend for 20,000 points
- Get 2x MR points for a full year on all purchase; max $50,000 of spend for 100,000 points
I can see some people preferring the old offer and some people preferring this offer depending on what your spending habits are like. This new offer is probably a lot better for those with limited restaurant spend and those who won’t really be able to take advantage of the 2x points everywhere for the first year (really 2.3 with the relationship bonus). It’s good to see that American Express are keeping an increased bonus on this card as well.
If you’re thinking about applying for this card, I’d recommend reading these things everybody should know about American Express cards first.
