Our Verdict
Numerous people mention seeing this offer. I see it on some referral links, but not all. If you have a few AmEx cards, hopefully you’ll find it showing on at least one of them (just toggle to get to the Business Gold card).
We’ve seen numerous offers on the Business Gold card, and this 85,000 offer likely tops all other public offers. There was one targeted offer for 90,000, though this new offer has the advantage of being a referral offer which gives the referrer credit as well.
There’s also an increased referral offer on the Business Platinum card as well. As always you can read more about American Express cards here.

Also got the 150k/$10k in 3 months offer at $375 annual fee. Found it by Googling “AMEX Business Gold 150k” in a Chrome incognito browser and verifying the offer in chat after approval.
Does anyone know if the staples $25 egift card trigger the $20 monthly business credit? I know that the $25 specialty gift cards do trigger the $20 monthly credit.
Got the 150k/$10k offer when logged in. The annual fee has gone up to $375.
Looks like some of the info here is outdated.
Got a 125k w/ 10k spending letter. Where to get the 150k one?
150k/$10k approved. One of the best offers on Gold.
Found the same 150k/$10K offer. Instant approval!
Pulled the 150k/$10k offer yesterday. My first Amex card and approved instantly
Got the 150k/10k offer on Safari private window, but kept getting the pop-up.
On a whim, clicked on an Amex ad on this exact page and navigated to the Business Gold page and saw the same offer (first time seeing it on Chrome incognito). Applied and made it through without a popup. Confirmed with a rep that the offer is attached.
So… Thank doc?
Like a side bar ad? Or banner at the top?
Got the 125k/10K offer for an LLC I just closed last year. Still debating whether to apply. AF increases 2/1/24
I successfully pulled the 150k/10k offer on today. First time getting this card, instant approval.
If I need to buy some Applicance from costco worth $1000 and I want utilize this Amex Business Gold card expense requirement of $10,000. But Costco doesn’t accept Amex. If I buy $1000 Visa gift Card from Office depot or some other place, will amex spend requirement work here?
Using GCs to meet an Amex SUB will likely result in a points clawback. Just don’t do it.
