Earn American Express bonus points by adding Business supplementary cards

American Express dropped us a note to highlight a special offer currently running on its Gold Business and Platinum Business products.

Gold Business Cardmembers can earn 3,000 Membership Rewards points for every supplementary card issued

Platinum Business Cardmembers can earn 5,000 Membership Rewards points for every supplementary card issued

This offer should be showing online or in the Amex app.  If you don’t see, it may not be available to you for some reason.

The offer is valid for supplementary cards ordered by 31st August 2019.

My review of Amex Gold Business is here and you can apply here.  The sign-up bonus is 20,000 points.  My review of Amex Platinum Business is here and you can apply here.  The sign-up bonus is 40,000 points.

The rule for qualifying for the sign-up bonus is that you must not have had any personal or business card earning Membership Rewards points (Gold, Platinum, Green, Centurion etc) in the previous six months.  It is NOT 24 months, which is the rule for the personal cards.
