[YMMV] American Express Platinum 100k+10x Offer Now Available Via Some Referral Links

[Update: Reader Vic clarifies that it’s the Amex Platinum cards which are showing a 30,000 points referrer bonus that’s also showing the 100,000 points signup bonus. If you see a lower bonus for referrer, then you won’t see the 100,000 referee bonus.]

American Express is currently offering 100,000 points signup bonus on the consumer Platinum card. The one downer is that referral links are showing a lower offer.

However, uscreditcards101 reports getting the 100,000 + 10x offer to show when using a referral link. I still can’t get it to show using any referral link, so it’s obviously not for everyone, but worth keeping an eye out. Might only work when using a Platinum card to refer to the Platinum card, and only on certain browsers or geographic locations.

Amex just refreshed the referral bonus. A lot of people are seeing 30k on the personal Platinum now.

I just used the prequal link and got the $100k offer without a referral. Does anyone know how long the offer will last?

Update is not true. My wife’s refer bonus shows 30K. But the sign up bonus only shows 95K for me to use her link.

I’m not sure which case you refer to. But I’m using my wife’s business platinum refer link and check my own consumer platinum application link and find the 95k offer.

Does she have a gold card or a platinum card?

ONLY Platinum + 30k would show 100k platinum.

Gold + 30k would not.

The point other posters are making is that your wife’s card is a BUSINESS platinum. Only the CONSUMER (non-business) platinum with 30k referral is triggering the 100k CONSUMER plat offer.

I pulled the trigger on 100k. Do you have any idea why you got targeted for 125k? Lots of spending? Certain cards in your wallet?
