View Comments (88)

• Date 03/04/2023 I finally was able to see the referral link for 90k points and had my wife open a gold card.
  Problem is my annual fee posted on 02/12 , and have just a few days left , is it possible to receive the bonus before i close my card?

• Hey everyone. Have a situation. I already know I effed up. But I am just now learning I did not receive the 90k MR points after spending $4k in 6 months. I made more than that but apparently some purchases, like for gc, were invalidated. Yeah, I did not read the terms lol I know this game is cuthroat so I will let it go. Any chance anyone been on the same boat and got lucky getting the points after all?

  • I opened a business account and misread the terms of 5k within 20 days for 60k points , and did it in 22 days, they would not bother even if i close the account so i did yesterday. but no exceptions.

• I received a referral from a friend for the AMEX Gold 90,000 recently. I received an email saying that the application went depending, and there was no pop-up when I applied. A little while later, I received an email saying that it was approved. I previously had the premier rewards gold card right before it switched over to the new gold card. That was about 4 or 5 years ago. Last year, I received an offer to upgrade that gold card to a vanilla platinum (which I also had previously but was eligible for the upgrade bonus), and I just recently closed it when the annual fee came around. I called in to ask if I was eligible and they weren’t able to determine it. What is the general consensus here about this situation? Based on the fact that there was no pop-up when I applied and it went to pending, is it safe? Thanks.

• Would it be OK to post the person's referral link of 90,000 offer for the community to use if someone wants to apply for a AMEX Gold card? Kind of win-win

  • Hey Joel, do you have a Discord/Telegram? :D

  • No, we sometimes make dedicated posts, but certainly not here. It gets difficult when it's only on some links since everyone ends up leaving links that don't have the offer.

    • Agreed. It could be confusing

• Damn, used my friend's referral and got the 90k but says I'm not eligible right before I hit apply.

• 75k chrome / safari incognito. 30k referral makes it tempting tho

• Got a targeted via email. Is it safe for p2 to apply with it?

  • An email offer won't be a referral.

    • Not coming up through referral unfortunately.

      Is this the all time best pure points offer.

      • Sort of. In the spring there was a 90k offer with an extra 20% on restaurants, up to $250.

        • which was better as offset AF so $250 in the black vs this offer

• Just checked and I have it via referral but it's an interesting decision whether to do this or have P2 do 75k + $250. Basically do you value MR more or go for the cash if can you hit the restaurant spend for the extra 250

  • What does 'P2' mean?

    • Player 2: a spouse, partner, adult kid, etc.

  • The 15k MR point difference can be worth more than $250 depending on your redemption rate, especially with transfer bonuses.

• Have an add an authorized user and get 10K MR points on my gold. If I add P2 as as AU now, will they still receive SUB when they apply for their own card in few months?

  • @guest_1497980 - Yes, AU card account holders are eligible to receive the SUB

    • Thank you.

• DP: i think its worth mentioning the welcome offer shows on my referral link page for 90k amex gold, but when I actually apply, it says I am not eligible for the welcome offer so it's pretty misleading
