Amex PRG: 5,000 Bonus MR Points for Adding Authorized User

The Offer

Direct Link (login required)

  • Get a bonus 5,000 Amex Membership Rewards points when you add an authorized user to your Premier Rewards Gold card and spend $500 within 3-months

This is a targeted offer. Use the above link to login, and after selecting the PRG card it will show the bonus offer if you are targeted. Seems to be working for everyone, but YMMV.

The Fine Print

  • $500 spend can be done on the new AU card or any other AU card, but not on the primary card
  • Bonus points can take 8-12 weeks to post (usually it posts much faster)
  • Limit one 5,000 bonus per primary card (adding two AUs won’t get you two bonuses)

Our Verdict

Amex is getting aggressive in their AU offers – we’ve seen the same offer for SPGDelta Gold, and Delta Platinum.

Keep these things in mind about adding Amex AU’s:

  • No fee to add an additional cardholder, up to 5 free AUs on PRG
  • These authorized user accounts do count towards the Chase 5/24 rule by the automated system
  • SSN is required
