There is yet another targeted welcome offer for the American Express Business Gold card, this one offering an incredible 150,000 Membership Rewards after $10K in spend and then tacking on an additional 5K when adding an employee card and spending $1K on it.
This 155K offer DOES NOT have once-in-a-lifetime language which excludes those who have the card or have had it in the past (and Amex always gives you a pop-up letting you know that you’re not eligible for the welcome bonus before it finalizes your application, regardless).
We’ve heard reports of this popping up in people’s accounts for a few weeks, and Doctor of Credit shared a link for it about a month ago. However, it appeared to be extremely targeted.
Now, it seems like more folks have been added to the chosen few. Although my wife wasn’t targeted for the offer, I was…and I was approved for it despite this being my 3rd Biz Gold.
It should be noted that we don’t know the origin of this link, outside of the fact that DOC posted it. However, the fact that you have to log-in in order to find out if you’re targeted makes it much safer (in my opinion) than what we call “post-targeted” links where there’s no log-in necessary.
The Deal

- This is a no lifetime language (NLL) offer

If after you log-in, you see this message (or something like it), it means you’re not targeted:

Quick Thoughts
There’s been a bit of a lull in the Amex Points Parade for many folks, but it seems like it might be heating up again. This targeted offer is more than double the card’s current public offer and 20K better than the 130K referral offer that we’re displaying on our Best Offers page.
The Business Gold card can be a great card for many folks given the attractive 4x bonus categories and the monthly statement credit for office store purchases. Even if you didn’t take advantage of any of the bonus categories, this works out to 15.5x MR on $10K spend…an absolutely stellar deal. I believe that this is the best offer that we’ve ever seen for the Business Gold card.
It should be noted that the there’s the potential for the current 130K referral offer to be better than 155K if you’re in 2-player mode and one of the two can generate the referral. This could add anywhere from 15K – 45K additional MR, an even snazzier haul than what’s offered here.
