[Targeted] American Express: Add An Employee Card & Earn 20K Points (Up To 99 Employees)

Update 10/5/21: You can try using this link. Hat tip to Parts_Unknown-

The Offer

No direct link to offer. Offer being offered when calling in to American Express for other reasons

  • American Express is offering some business cardholders 20,000 points when they add an employee card and they spend $4,000 within six months. You can add up to 99 employees for a total of 1,980,000 points back

Our Verdict

Some people have the same offer but for only 5,000 points, spend requirement is only for $1,000 though. You don’t need to supply a SSN when adding an employee card, but the employee needs to add it within 60 days otherwise the account will be closed.

I cant get these to work at all. I fill out the application and hit submit and nothing happens. It was like this back In Nov when these links first launched, and its still not working for me. Are there any tricks that I am missing? preferred browser or something?

How does everyone go about adding many multiple “employees”? I had to give SSN and other info before activating the one employee card I got. Are people doing the spend on the employee card and then canceling it before 60 days is up? Or what’s the workaround here? I feel like I’m missing something.

Confused a bit here. After adding emp cards I get this:
In order to use the Employee Card to make purchases, you or your employee will need to provide the employee’s Residential Address, Social Security Number, and Date of Birth when confirming the Employee Card. If this information is not provided within 60 days of Card issuance, your Employee Card will be canceled.”

So will I have to provide before they can be used or is that just how Amex writes it but in practice its different?

I don’t care if they close after 60 days, I’ll meet spend in a few days of getting the cards.

Not exactly true. They started sending them not activated but now sometimes do again. 60-89% of mine arrive activated as of this week. More BBP than abp arrive activated.

Does this error mean I’m not targeted, or can I still call in to have these cards added for the bonus – We’re sorry. There’s been an unexpected error and the page you’re trying to reach is temporarily down.

Getting the same error on mine. I had the offer available a few weeks ago and wanted to go back to add more cars to it.

did this just come back for the first time now in August? Like there wasn’t an employee card bonus between ~March and ~August now?

Using this the link, I am able to add authorized users on my non MR cards (BV Biz & Delta Biz). So how does this work? Would I receive 20K MR for adding an authorized user on my bonvoy card?

no, it’s specific only for MR business cards. So green, gold, or plat.

Wanted to update: Using the link specific for Gold, was able to get 20K for $4K to stack with $10K MSR.

Anyone successfully get their 20K recently? Got employee card for BBP and finished spend about a month ago. Haven’t seen pts. Was able to pull up offer on a new Biz Plat last week and signed up for 3 employee cards. Any way to check and see if offer is attached to these cards?

i got 20k points successfully on my biz plat 3 days after hitting 4k this month. Biz Gold and BBP not looking good – 10 days past and nothing.

Did you both do the call-in offer or the online version? If online, I don’t think it ever worked for BBP, and there were separate links to use for biz plat and biz gold as Josh posted below (even though both bring up either card) so if you used the wrong one you may not get the points.

I always called in for the employee cards. I wouldn’t trust the link as much as calling in because I’m sure they record the calls so you have some more leverage than links if you don’t end up getting the points. Little more work that seems worth it.

on the page, the “add a card” has the same link (for the bus plat/bus gold offers)

Points are still posting for me as of yesterday for employee cards I signed up in April under my biz plat, points should post about 2-3 days after you meet the spend on each employee card. It should show up in your rewards summary page RWD $4K SPD/20K MR PTS with the category of “Bonus Earn”. Wish it told me which employee I was getting the bonus for.

Update: Called in to add more and rep said that the offer has changed to I think 5K with I can’t recall what spend but I’ll hold out for if it ever reinstates. I’m doubtful :-(. Hopefully someone else goes and tries to call for more and has a dp of good offer.
