Update 12/29/20: Offer is now available via referral link as well. Hat tip to reader CharTech
Update 11/12/20: I’m seeing this offer again now incognito here; this time it’s a straight $7,500 spend requirement (not tiered). It’s not always pulling up, but you can probably get it with a few tries.
The Offer
Direct link to offer (might need to open in incognito mode to get the offer to show)
- American Express is offering the following bonus on the new Business Gold card
- Earn 35,000 points when you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases with the American Express Business Gold Card within the first 3 months of Card Membership.
- Earn an additional 25,000 points after you spend an extra $2,500 on eligible purchases on the Card within that same time period.
Card Details
- $295 annual fee, not waived first year
- Card earns 4x points on the two categories your business spends the most each billing cycle, from the following list (up to $150,000 in combined purchases each calendar year):
- U.S. purchases at restaurants
- Airfare purchased directly from airlines
- U.S. purchases for advertising in select media
- U.S. purchases at gas stations
- U.S. purchases for shipping
- U.S. computer hardware, software, and cloud computing purchases made directly from select providers
- 25% points back after you book a flight with pay with points
Our Verdict
Not as good as the 75,000 offer that was available via referral links earlier this year. Spend requirement is $2,500 less but that doesn’t really make up for the points difference. Because a bigger bonus was so recently offered we won’t add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
Hat tip to Chase-ing UR points
Is this considered a charge card? Can I still get this even though I already have a max of 5 personal and amex biz cards.
Cycle between 35k and 50k with incognito. Checked normal Edge and got 60k.
I used to love these offers. However, with the Pandemic and WFH, I am honestly having trouble spending money… Travel used to be a huge spender, now it is not.
Public offer has the below lifetime language. The targeted email that I got does not have it. I’ve read Amex will still deny you even if the lifetime language is not there.
“OFFER TERMS
Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card.”
I got an email last night for Gold Biz. Standard 50k pts for $5k spend. It does not have the once per lifetime language through. I had Gold Biz before, so a bit tempted to get it. Any chance to have Amex match to the 60k offer?
I am getting only 50,000
I am cycling between:
1. Earn 50,000 Membership Rewards®points after you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases with the Business Gold Card within the first 3 months of Card Membership.
and
2. Earn 35,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases with the Business Gold Card within the first 3 months of Card Membership.
Same here

Unsure about public link. (I’m only seeing 75k but I didn’t trying many times.)
I can vouch, I’m getting the same offer on my referral link (95K / $15K spend for Plat, 60K / $7.5K spend Gold)
I have a gold PRG referral which gives the same for this card and i also get 30K as referral bonus. I am thinking of doing it in 2P mode. Different Question – Can i refer from my personal account to a LLC with a EIN owned by me?.
If only I could meet the MSR. Really wish AMEX would just let us MS freely
You assume that you can’t MS a MSR? Just avoid L3 and fishy numbers. Lots of people spend $500-600 on groceries without gift cards. Virtually Nobody spends $5059.50 at the grocery store.
