There are reports of some people receiving no lifetime language credit card offers from American Express in their AmEx offers. Normally American Express cards contain the following language:
- Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product.
These offers do not contain this language (but as always double check your offer to ensure this is the case). So far the following offers have been seen:
- American Express Business Gold 35,000 points
- American Express Business Platinum 75,000 points after $15,000 in spend
Typically these no lifetime language offers are only worth doing if you’ve had the card before, otherwise it’s usually possible to get a bigger bonus elsewhere. For example the you can get 95,000 points on the Business Platinum currently. If you check your offers and see one we don’t have listed, let us know in the comments below.

Are you talking about a referral offer? Why does the language mention friend?
@will Received Blue Cash Preferred offer no LL for $300 with $3,000 spend. Applied Since I’ve already opened the card and was accepted.
Where exactly would we be looking for these?
Amex Offers, at the bottom of the Home page. Click View All and either scroll or choose Featured.
Can also come up as a white (or is it off-white?) banner at the top of one of the pages. Click through all cards and tabs, as it usually only appears under one or two combinations - e.g. an offer appeared after selecting my EDP and going to Transactions.
With all these Amex headlines recently, I don't thik it's worth the headache.
Yeah, this one sounds like a trap! I'm steering clear, I like my MR balance in the positive!
Im afraid im with you on this one. Todays AMEX Hilton Honors letter that came in the mail means Im on the radar now, so MS'ing with their cards is probably not a good idea.
How do we know if the no lifetime language isn't just an oversight?
That hasn't been the case in the past with these types of offers.
Does it matter? It’s up to the RATs... lol
Think twice~~~ Rats are watching you lol....I’m wondering how many people can still get a credit card sign up bonus from Amex..Hahaha
My 5million MR balance says otherwise Terry
Hey, that'll get you to Europe on Delta! If you don't mind leaving at 5:30am. Or a 12-hour layover. Or traveling in January. Or on a mixed class ticket. I mean one-way. Obviously.
Flat out lies!
Get the Schwab, cash it out and invest.
well, Harry, make sure these points are good to use~~
You won’t even know your points are under review by the rats until you try to transfer them out...
