[YMMV] 2,500 Points/Miles For Adding An Authorized User With American Express

The Offer

  • Multiple readers have let me know that they were offered 2,500 points/miles if they added an additional cardholder with American Express. They were offered this deal during chat sessions and also via the phone. You’re required to make one purchase on the new card to get the points.

The Fine Print

  • Keep in mind some American Express cards come with annual fees for additional cardholders

Our Verdict

I’d recommend having another reason for your call/chat session and then casually asking if there are any offers attached to your account. According to some chat representatives they are slowly rolling this offer out to all cardholders, so it might be worth waiting a few days and trying again if you are unsuccessful.

re PRG, the deal is from 5/9-5/20/2016 and is ONLY for the first au added to the account or at least that is what the rep said as I was trying to add another

Thanks, I livechatted and after asking if there were any offers on my card, they offered the 2500 points for an AU on my PRG

Chatted about something else, rep immediately proceeded trying to persuade me to add AUs and ‘surprise them’ but wouldn’t offer any bonus for doing that…….

I wanted to find out when my next annual fee was going to post on my Gold Premier card. Live chat confirmed to me the date. The rep then proceeded to inform me of the 2500 points for adding an AU.

This was on reddit. Dan is a rabbi with questionable morals? I have always thought some professions should be above what is expected merely by law.

Quite the statement. Firstly, Dan isn’t a rabbi. Secondly, what are morals? Something you decide is right or wrong?
