American Express® Business Gold Card Referral Offer
Information about this card has been collected independently by Monkey Miles. Card issuer is not responsible for the information or accuracy.
American Express is offering a couple insane referral offers on its American Express® Business Gold Card.. The offer depends on how you’re targeted and how the links below, both in article and in the comments, populate.
175k to 200k after $15k in 3 months are populating. Both are amazing, but if you can get the 200k to populate – wow!
The biggest downside is the $375 annual fee, but Amex Biz Gold gives users the ability to earn 4x points on some attractive categories ( capped at $150k ) and those really add up. Let’s take a look at at this tiered offer that gives the welcome offer in two different tiers.
This is a Monkey Miles referral page, which means you are more than welcome to leave your links In the comments section.
Here’s how it works with our site and referrals: do not spam post or I’ll block your referral
First off, this is meant to help everyone. So, if you’re posting your referral a dozen times a day, week, month, and trying to manipulate the comment section, I’m going block your referral for abuse. No ifs ands or buts – if I see you’re doing it, or you’re flagged by another use, I’ll just block you from ever posting. Let’s not ruin a good thing.
We earn commission when you use our links via our partner Cardratings or CreditCards.com and are really grateful when you do, but we also publish other deals that may be attractive to you. Referrals, are one of those other deals, and is a way we can give back to you for supporting us since you earn a referral bonus when someone uses your link.
We want to give you an opportunity to earn some valuable points as well, and so this is how we go about doing it.
- We add our own referrals first
- Because we use a ton of points every year and publish reviews of the flight and hotels we take, but we quickly max out
- We add those of friends and family to load up their accounts
- Once those are maxed out
- We then import your links from the comments section below to help you out.
- We usually leave those up for a few weeks and cycle through them, or when we get an email notifying us that someone’s account has maxes out
You can also leave referrals for

- American Express® Green Card

Here are a few of the ways I’ve put my American Express Membership Rewards to great use.
For 47.5k transferred to Virgin you can experience their new Upper Class which I just flew a in November.
One of the best possible uses…70k transferred to Aeroplan for Lufthansa First Class redemption.
Or even use British Airways Avios ( transfer bonuses as high as 40% in the past ) to redeem on great products like Japan Airlines First Class

Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
