Our Verdict

You can currently get a bonus of 70,000 miles + 10k MQM + $100 via a referral. That offer is much better (although the spend requirement is $2,000 lower on this offer and this offer comes with an extra 5,000 MQM), but this offer is attractive as it doesn’t contain the once per lifetime language meaning you should be able to get this bonus even if you’ve had the card before. As always it’s a good idea to carefully read your offer to make sure it’s absent that language. If you have any questions regarding American Express cards, read this post first.
