Our Verdict
This is an amazing offer if you can get it to show. People are talking about certain referral links being 200k, but in reality I think it might depend more on the user who use opens the link (depending on location, etc).
No referral links or sharing in the comments below.
Hat tip to reader Jess and to DDG
My wife and I both keep getting pop-up jail telling us we aren’t eligible for the sign-up bonus given our card history (number of cards, accounts opened and closed, etc.)
Funny because we each have 2 Business Platinum cards and keep getting Amex mailers for 150-175k signup bonuses for more business platinum cards AND our online accounts show us being preapproved for 75k-125k for business gold cards.
Do you get the points for a balance transfer or spend ONLY?
spend only
P2’s referral link only shows max 175k for me (varies between 100k/150k/175k). Seems to be specific to the referee link? P2 only has personal gold/plat. I do see it via other links and via google searches.
I keep getting pop up jail for the 200k offer but recently got a targeted email for 125k. Thinking about pulling the plug even if it’s not optimal because I have some holiday spend coming up…
my p2 got puj for the 200k offer, but was approved using a different referral link with a 175k offer
if youre into cash you can transfer the 200,000 to aeroplan and buy $1450 of prepaid mastercard.
ok last post on this. Further research shows me the best cash out option is
200,000 points —> $2,000 home depot gift card —> $1680 cardcash or $1720 amazon cardcash
guess theres no way to offset the $375 like the personal cards?
edit: guess theres no way to offset the $375
$240 Office supply store credit gets you part of the way there
And crap…are there any 175k or 200k links still around or did I wait too long?
Just opened the google link in incognito – still shows 200k points + 0%
Just searching Amex biz gold in Incog? Tried that and actually saw 100k MR
But thanks – will try again
Try like 10-20 times. Search Amex biz gold in regular window, and then right click the actual link in incognito mode
i have
Is anyone worried about using some of these 200k links? I read that some of them are doctored/edited to get you 200k but Amex could come back and close your account later if they think you signed up for a card that you weren’t targeted for. Just curious
I used the direct link from Google search. It’s targeted based on your location, browser, etc. If you can open it and see 200k promo, then you’re targeted.
Still getting emails…not referrals. States deal is good until 1/10/2025. 200,000 with 15k spend in 3 month period.
seems like the 200k offer is dead? none of the links work even in incognito. the amex platinum 250k worked for me though.
if you google “Amex biz gold”, 1st direct amex link shows 175k, 2nd direct amex link (different site design) shows 200k bonus (both need to be open in incognito)
Both showing PUJ for me
Was able to bypass PUJ and got approved for 200k+0% today. CSR was able to confirm and see the offer attached to my new credit card.
How did you bypass PUJ?
(<-) button. I believe people here don’t like talking about this method.
As someone in PUJ and eager to get this SUB, can you share more on this method please!
“B@ck butt0n trick”. Don’t want to get banned here. You can Google it and just read what people say on Reddit. So far seems like it works 10/10 if you do the steps right.
You’re basically getting “pending review” status for your application and then CSR approves it manually with promo attached.
Thanks for the quick reply and helpful insight!
Any idea how long it takes after saying 7-14 days until approval? The suggested time?
You gotta call right after you see “pending” status for your app. If no issues, you should get approval from CSR right away.
Ah, I applied on the weekend and the status had changed to “Provide Additional Information” or some variant thereof, and the CSR said I wasn’t eligible for the bonus.
That being said, it could have been for the “first” application and the the “second”? How does everyone figure out the correct application reference number?
You should get 2 apps:
App #1: where you get PUJ
App #2: where you get “Pending” status.
You should get an email for App #2 that your app was canceled since you already have app #1 in progress.
You call AMEX and ask them to cancel app #1 instead and go and approve app #2 (where you did not get PUJ).
They should read you T&C including bonus rules before you confirm to approve it. They will not see 0% APR until you get the account (card) #.
The correct application reference number should be in the email for the canceled app (app #2).
Oh man, I owe you one! Thanks a million for this! It worked.
No worries! Glad it worked for you!
When the CSR read the T&C, it actually mentioned that if you had this card before, etc. You may not eligible for the SUB and you will receive a letter about it.
0% APR would usually indicate that you have the promotion attached.
But I also recently confirmed my progress via chat and was told that I have 200k promo I’m working on
Also confirmed that purchases made by employee accounts are going towards the min spend
