[YMMV] American Express Business Gold/Business Platinum: 150,000 Point/190,000 Points

Update 3/7/24: This is showing up again.

Update 11/21/23: Looks like the Business Platinum is now showing up as 190,000 points. Using the method in the last update.

Update 10/12/23: reader Jamie reports getting this to show with the following method: go incognito and look up   first “amex platinum business” and click the sponsored link; then, in the same tab, look up “amex gold business” and click that sponsored link. A lot of people are seeing the 150k Business Gold (and 170k Business Platinum) card offer there. Addendum: Another variation of this was discovered by C-MontgomeryChurns to open this link incognito to find the 170k Business Platinum offer, then click on that page ‘Most Popular Cards’ and navigate to the Business Gold card. Another addendum: see a third method in this comment.

Our Verdict

American Express recently announced changes to this card. This offer has no lifetime language, definitely worth signing up now if you get this offer as it’s a huge offer and you can take advantage of the new benefits before the new annual fee increase.
