Update 8/17/21: Here’s another affiliate link to the offer (this is not our affiliate link). On this one it shows clearly – as I had speculated in the original post below – that you can get the 20,000 points payroll bonus and the 10,000 points standard spend offer on top of the 80,000 points. So this offer is theoretically the same as the previous 110,000 points deal, though it’s overall not as good due to the high and difficult spend requirement. See the previous post for more details on how to meet the payroll bonus. (Anyone who signed up with the other affiliate link, mentioned below, will most likely be able to get these other 10,000 and 20,000 points bonuses as well.)
Original Post:
Brex came out with a new offer to get 80,000 points when opening a new Cash Account and spending $9,000 within 30 days. There’s no public link for that offer, here’s the affiliate link for the offer (it’s not our affiliate link). 80,000 points is worth $800 cash or can be used to transfer to travel partners.
We wrote more about Brex in the prior deal when they offered 100,000 points with $1,000 spend, you can read that post for more details on Brex. This deal has a higher $9,000 spend requirement, but might still be interesting to some.
Note: Brex typically has a standard offer of 10,000 points when you spend $3,000 within 3 months and also 20,000 points when you link your payroll to Brex. See this post and this post. I’m almost certain that these bonuses are their standard offering, so it’s entirely possible that this 80,000 points offer can really be worth 100,000 (or possibly even 110,000 points) if you meet the payroll requirement. Let us know if you find out.

I got an e-mail today from Brex saying they are closing my account:
"Brex will no longer be able to offer you our services due to a change in how we determine account eligibility. Brex regularly reviews its services, and due to a change in company strategy, we do not believe we will be able to provide a great level of service for your business moving forward."
I regularly used the account, but apparently not the way they want me to. The last week or so I haven't been able to mobile deposit and I wondered what was going on.
Best DD ever.
Is this promotion still active?
Did anyone recentry tried this
Got emailed today I have 30 days to use my account or they will close it.
Honestly I love Brex. Been using only one account but I’m going to start putting activity on the other. Not sure what amount of activity will save it
Probably the one time I don’t want to bank to close the account for in activity.
Anyone know if this counts against Chase 5/24?
It won't if you choose a cash account. Then it's a debit card that acts like a credit card but it's not a real credit card.
Does anyone know if this is 1 per household or 1 per SSN or no limitations? I don't see the normal disclaimers you would see with bank/credit card accounts. I have 3 LLCs and my wife also has 3 LLCs. Possible to do this six times?
From memory Brex bonuses are always based per business/EIN.
I noticed that on my brex dashboard, it doesn't show anything about the 80k points for 9k spend, but it does have boxes for the 20k (already gotten) and 10k for 1k spend. I'm hoping that's normal, because it's an affiliate only deal and they didn't screw up the bonus.
I know it has to be some type of method of spending or looking like I spent $9k but I cant see how. If Brex is the business acct is a $9k ach transfer from one business checking to another or business checking to personal seen as spend?
Got my 80K points on 9/21. should I just cash out or are there better values for the points? I'm in Denver so not sure if I can easily use the airline partners without paying for positioning flights etc. Not to mention that I have 300K AA/200KUA /150K DL miles stockpiled.
I transferred to Lifemiles on a promo.. huge value for me flying LH bus transatlantic.
I applied on Aug 10. Any chance for approval if I apply again this quickly?
I have a LLC registered with NYS, was hoping to recon but I cant find out how.
Has anyone actually gotten the full payout for the 9000 spend? It's been almost 20 days since I completed the spend but have only gotten the 10K and the 20K bonuses, not the 80K. I'm wondering if the affiliate link worked?

Did it payout?
yes, around the end of Sept.
Per Brex support: "The points are auto-credited to the account within 7-10 business days after the 30 da7 spend window closes."
