Do you advertise on Yelp? You could earn a stack of points.

Check your Amex Offers to see if you’ve been targeted. I’d assume this is targeted to Amex business card holders as it is associated with Yelp Business, and was targeted to my Amex Business Platinum card, but who knows. Lemme know if you’ve been targeted, and on which card. Seems pretty straight forward for anyone whose business is currently listed on Yelp, or if you haven’t claimed your business you can do so via link below.

My thoughts

If you have a business currently listed on YELP…this is a no brainer. For businesses like mine, or many blogs, that aren’t listed on Yelp, it makes it rather difficult to earn. However, I may investigate the process of adding my business to Yelp. I don’t see how it could hurt, I have a business address that mail is delivered to, and am thinking of starting the award booking service up full time. I certainly have enough time to explore the pros and cons of being listed on Yelp as the offer goes until next April. If your business isn’t currently listed on Yelp, but you feel it should be, you can go HERE.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.

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

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.

    If my business is listed on Yelp and I currently pay for Yelp advertising can I just change my credit card on file for for the 30,000 points?

    • Miles October 10, 2017

      Mrmile – if your card was targeted and you add it to your account, I would think that should do the trick. As long as you have $300 clear before the offer ends. thanks for reading!
