If you haven’t already I’d recommend reading our post on ‘American Express Pre-Approval Referral Offers (No Lifetime Language)‘ offers. It has come to my attention that some readers are sending other readers regular referral links, rather than these special pre-approved offer links. The regular links still contain the lifetime language. It’s very important you check any offers you receive to ensure there is no lifetime language (click ‘offer details’ and look for ‘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.‘) The pre-approval offers also clearly say they are pre-approval in the subject line, whereas the referral offers will say referral.
To any readers who did/do this, I just want you to know that I think you are a low life garbage human and I hope karma catches up with you sooner rather than later. If you want to discuss these offers please do so here. If you want to trade referral information then do so here. Please avoid naming & shaming in the comments as it’s impossible for us to tell if people are telling the truth or not.
