This post is dedicated to discussion of American Express’ new “Pre-Approval Referral Offers’. You can read more about this here. The original post has turned into an area for readers to share referral information (I naively thought not many people received these offers so didn’t expect much referral action in that post), this post is for discussing the offers themselves and any successes/issues. Currently that’s not really possible on that other post due to the large volume of people sharing referral information.
DO NOT POST YOUR REFERRAL INFORMATION IN THIS POST. If you do you will have your comment removed and any other existing referral details you have shared will be removed.
There is a similar one now going on
Thank you for hosting the referral thread and posting the reminder yesterday. I totally forgot about this NLL offer and was going to get the Ameriprise variant after my recently cancelled vanilla Plat. I got in touch with someone offering the NLL Plat referral and we worked together to make sure 1) I am likely to get approved 2) I didn’t ask 20 different people for a referral email and waste his referral. I followed though and applied last night, got approved instantly and took a screenshot to send to the person just so he would have the peace of mind. We helped each other come out with a win-win, all thanks to you!
Glad to help
am i missing something? how come nobody is just referring themselves???
Looking for an Amex Plat or Gold. Please send referral to [removed]
Thanks!!
Read the post and follow the rules. You can ask for referrals in the other post https://www.doctorofcredit.com/american-express-pre-approval-referral-offers-no-lifetime-language/
Before i try this, if anyone has any ideas…
I currently hold a plat. I got this offer. I would like to put myself as a referral and get another plat card without closing my current one. Thought? I’ve had the plat for almost 10 years.
Lolz. I came to ask same .
Anyone know?
Many are complaining that links are showing “We are sorry. This campaign has expired. Thank you for your interest and please check back with American Express for future promotions.”, despite the clearly written expiration of 1/9/2019.
Anyone has matching or counter DP?
I feel it’s a error on Amex side, possibly incorrectly configured expiration date.
Would like to know the DP for the following case – Cancelling the current platinum card and applying a new one through preapproval offer and qualifying for the signup bonus.
Yep, it’ll work. People have gotten points from the NLL offer while still holding a previous Platinum.
Thanks for confirmation
So you can hold the exact same product and get the bonus points?
Do you think it is better to ask if you qualify for bonus or just do the purchases and hope the bonus will post
If we currently have the platinum open, can we still apply for another one with the no lifetime offer?
No, but you can close your existing Plat and then apply for a new one.
There are three flavors of Plat Vanilla (Vanilla & Ameriprise and the same product) Charles Schwab and Business. You can only have one in each category.
Previously you could have multiples in each.
Yes, you can get one of these and get the points while currently holding a Platinum. I did NLL Platinum and NLL Gold while already holding each, and had no issues with getting the NLL bonuses.
Did anyone who apply for this get denied their signup bonus? And do you ask about sign up bonus once you activate card or wait a few days
