[YMMV] American Express Business Gold: 200,000 Points Offer via Referral Links

Update 10/21/24: This is reliably showing via referral links again (at least for me). We’ve created a dedicated thread to share your referrals in (click here) do not share your referrals in the comments below.

The Offer

Check AmEx referral links to see if you can get this offer to show:

  • American Express is offering 200,000 points after $15,000 in spend on the American Express Business Gold card.

The card also has a 0% intro APR for 6 months.

 

Card Details

  • $375 annual fee, not waived first year.
  • $240 flexible business credit. Up to $20 in statement credits each month after you use the Business Gold Card for eligible U.S. purchases at FedEx, Grubhub, and Office Supply Stores
  • $12.95 monthly Walmart+ credit.
  • Card earns 4x points on the two categories your business spends the most each billing cycle, from the following list (up to $150,000 in combined purchases each calendar year):
    • Transit purchases including trains, taxicabs, rideshare services, ferries, tolls, parking, buses, and subways
    • Monthly wireless telephone service charges made directly from a wireless telephone service provider in the U.S
    • U.S. purchases at restaurants
    • U.S. purchases for advertising in select media
    • U.S. purchases at gas stations
    • U.S. computer hardware, software, and cloud computing purchases made directly from select providers
  • 3x points on AmEx Travel

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.

Applied for the Gold Card in November using the 175K link. Prepaid 15K in taxes (about $230 in fees). No interest for the first 6 months. Today I filed my taxes to get the refund ASAP. It was a simple SUB for a minimum spend that looked pretty intimidating.

It seems that the referral links are mostly expired now. Any chance you could open the comments back up there to get some more active links?

My link for P2 only generated 100k offers, but cycling through the rankt site I was able to get a 200k.

Alas, popup jail.

(Just did a personal green to gold upgrade offer).

im in for 125,000 point mailer i got. i need to book a united flight for vacation. went through various options:

  • united card. no, need to save that for europe
  • same with chase points, need to save.
  • star alliance aeroplan, lufthansa, avianca only offered the red eye flight

125,000 for $15,000 spend isnt great, but it gets me what i need.

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.

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…

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
