[Expired] American Express Business Gold Rewards 75,000 Signup Bonus for $10,000 Spend Via Phone [Rumor Last Day 11/07/2018]

Update 11/08/18: Card has been updated and this offer is sadly no longer available.

Update there is a rumor that the last day for this offer will be November 7th. This matches up with something else we’ve heard regarding some changes being made (unsure on specifics and if it even applies to this card) on November 8th.

Reader Ken was able to get the following bonus on the Business Gold Rewards card:

• 75,000 points after $10,000 in spend within the first three months (one reader noted their offer was for 4 months not 3)

To receive this offer all he had to do was call American Express and ask. This isn’t the first time something like this has worked, in fact the same method is working for getting a bonus of 100,000 points on the Business Platinum card. The following directions should work:

1. Call 1-800-971-6736
2. Choose option 1, “apply for a new card”
3. You’ll be redirected to a customer service representative.
4. Ask for the offer
5. Hope for the best

Card Details

• Annual fee is waived the first year; second year and on there is an annual fee of $175.
• Card earns at the following rates:
  • 3X points on one category of your choice from the list below:
    • 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
  • 2X points on the 4 remaining categories
  • 1X points on other purchases
• I believe the once per lifetime rule applies to this card, would be surprised if it didn’t.

3X and 2X apply to the first $100,000 in purchases in each of the 5 categories per year, 1X point per dollar thereafter.

Our Verdict

We have seen similar offers on this card before with lower spend requirements ($5,000) but this is a competitive offer. Fingers crossed they send out targeted spending offers of 50,000 points at some stage for people that apply now as well. If anybody goes for this bonus, please share your experiences in the comments below. Since this now seems to be confirmed as working for a lot of readers, I’m adding it to our list of the best credit card bonuses. As far as I know and from the data points I’ve seen it’s not possible to match to this offer (but always worth a try in my opinion). Before applying or asking basic questions in the comments I’d recommend reading these things everybody should know about American Express credit cards.
