Terms and Conditions
1 Employee Card
Employee Card Spending Limits may be set up online or by calling the number on the back of your Card. The Spending Limit is not a guarantee that the Employee Card Member will be able to make purchases up to that limit. There are certain purchases where the limit does not apply, such as, for example, restaurant tips and hotel stays extended beyond their original reservation period, and the overall Account capacity is taken into consideration. You agree to pay all Charges without regard to whether any Charges exceed a limit, and you agree that we are not liable to you or any other person when a limit is not applied to any Charges and/or when Charges are incurred and billed that exceed a limit. For more information on the application of the limit, please refer to the Employee Card Spending Limits Terms and Conditions at www.americanexpress.com/spendlimits/terms, which will also be provided when you enroll Employee Card(s) in this feature.
2 Offer
Offer is nontransferable. Add new Employee Card Members to your Basic Card Member account here and earn 20,000 Membership Rewards® points after each new Employee Card Member spends $4,000 in eligible purchases on the new Card in their first 6 months of Card Membership. The maximum bonus points you can earn through this offer is 100,000 Membership Rewards points. Your
request to add Employee Cards must be processed and approved by 12/31/2021 11:59PM ET to be eligible for this offer. The 6 month period for each new Employee Card Member to spend $4,000 starts on the date that the respective Employee Card Member is added. Purchases made by other Employee Card Members on your Account, including Employee Cards that you do not add here, will not count toward the $4,000 spend requirement. Your purchases as the Basic Card Member will not count toward the $4,000 spend requirement.
The 20,000 Membership Rewards points will be applied to the Basic Card Member’s American Express account within 8-12 weeks after the Employee Card Member has met the purchase requirement. If we in your sole discretion determine that you or your Employee Card Members have engaged in abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with this offer in any way or intend to do so (for example, if you added one or more Employee Cards to obtain a bonus offer(s) that we did not intend for you; or if you or your Employee Card Members cancel or return purchases made to meet the Threshold Amount), we may not credit Membership Rewards points to, we may freeze Membership Rewards credited to, or we may take away Membership Rewards points from your account. We may also
cancel this Card account and other Card accounts you and your Employee Card Members may have with us.
Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, purchases of travelers checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, purchases of gift cards, person-to-person payments, or purchases of other cash equivalents. In rare instances, the period for the new Employee Card Members to spend $4,000 may be shorter than 6 months if there is a delay in receiving their Employee Cards. Also, purchases may fall outside of the 6 month period in some cases, such as delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date they made the transaction. (For example, if they buy goods online, the purchase date may be the date the goods are shipped). To be eligible to receive the bonus Membership Rewards points, your Card account must not be past due, canceled, or have a returned payment outstanding at the time of offer fulfillment.
Overall:
This seems like a no-brainer way to earn a bunch of points on employee expenses.

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.
