Our Verdict
If you’ve never had this card before then don’t sign up for this offer, as it’s possible to get 45,000 points instead. The real reason this bonus is interesting is because it contains no lifetime language, meaning you can get the bonus even if you’ve had the card before. Bonus itself is relatively small but keep in mind the $100 Away luggage credit and the fact you can get the CLEAR/Loungebuddy credit per calendar year (meaning you can use them twice and only pay one annual fee). Not the most exciting bonus, but still worth doing/considering if you’ve had the card before as these no lifetime bonuses are relatively rare. I won’t be adding this to the best credit card bonus page due to the fact this offer is targeted. Make sure to read this list of things everybody should know about American Express.
