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

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.

Called in today phone number is no longer valid. Got different number and they said offer no longer exists.
just went through the trouble of calling - only 50k, not 75k.
Where were all of you BGR seekers when I was working?!? I could’ve offered all of you 75k points.
on the phone now...was told only offer is 50k, no 75k...putting me on hold now for further checking...
the representative checked with another department then told me 50k is the best offer. I said no thanks.
Just called two time
First time the rep told me the 75k offer expired back in June
Second time the rep put me on hold for sometime then told me the 75k offer was made up and nothing to do with Amex so they can't offer it.
DP:
Called in just today on 11/7, was told the 75k offer expired last month :(
Thanks for the heads up Doc. Ref'ed it for the 15k/50k bonus.
This is not a valid offer, I work for AMEX and we are not offering this bonus offer. It is 50000 bonus points not 75000
It is a valid offer but only for outbound sales NOT customer service or any other channel.
So frustrating when this site in particular rehashes old offers that no one can get and profits off the clickbait.
How is it clickbait? There are literally comments from people succesfully getting this offer. Also why did you use a different name to reply to yourself?? You know your IP is also shared by liz and james who both have negative comments on this very thread?
No hard pull on personal credit?
They are not able to offer this, they only have a 50k offer
Yawn, stop posting comments under multiple fake names.
The number in the post redirects to a business number that is no longer in service. The automated message says to instead call 1-800-NOW-OPEN (800-669-6736).
Called the 1-800-NOW-OPEN (800-669-6736) and could not get the 75K offer. available offer was 50K points/5K spend.
I got this offer. You can call Wayne: 8442756152. He is a great guy, very friendly rep, he can help you to get biz plat 100k and Biz gold 75k.
Wondering the same as Mayer. Anyone can confirm if number is legit?
Can anyone confirm this a legit number for an amex banker. Last thing I want to do is give some guy all my info.
Can he help someone who called and had the offer not available to him?
Is it really advisable to put personal bankers names and lines in the open like this...
