Update 3/9/20: This link seems to work incognito to get the 50,000 points with just $2,000 spend. (hat tip to intervested99) Might have to try a few times, for me it’s working consistently.
Seems to be frequently available again. Spend requirement is now $4,000 instead of $2,000. Hat tip to Monkey Miles

Our Verdict
This offer seemed to disappear when they offered the limited time rose gold promotion and now it is back again. Should also show up via referral if you use incognito mode as well but remember not to self refer anymore. We have seen a bonus of 50,000 + $100 so it might make sense to wait for a bigger offer to come along. Because of that I won’t be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses. If you’re thinking of applying, make sure you read these things everybody should know about American Express cards first.

If someone with a different card sends a referral, do they still get the points for the referral?
Do most referral links that people are using to refer open with the 50K bonus with $2K spend? Or is the special link above the best way to sign up with 50K bonus with $2K spend?
Referral links using incognito/VPN are 50k bonus w/ $4k spend
How the referral works for this.. If I invite someone, they need to open the link in incognito mode from email ?
The direct link in incognito mode is showing 50,000 points after $4,000 in spend. Did the minimum spend just change?
Use the link mentioned in the update at the top.
Is there any lifetime language for this offer (I had this card before)?
I used TOR browser and see offer for 50,000 with 2,000 spend and annual fee 250
Wow is this for real?
Clicked on it and it worked but I've had the card before.
got this message on the 50k / $4k offer pulled up incognito
based on your history with credit card balance transfers, American Express welcome offers, introductory APR offers, or the number of Cards you have opened and closed, you are not eligible to receive the welcome offer.
bummer, I have had practically every card amex offers so I guess I shouldn't be surprised
That's the same message I got. Oddly enough, when I log into my Everyday account, it displays a pre-approved offer for me to get 35,000 after $4000 spend on the Gold card.
The annual fee makes this a poor offer compared to Wells Fargo propel Amex.
I opened the link and only got a 35,000 point offer, not worth it!
