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

What’s the best ever for Amex Gold?
There have been a wide range of offers, but 90k + $200 is the highest I’ve ever seen.
Targeted Authorized User bonuses started populating roughly 6 months into card-membership
If you were targeted like I was, this would potentially add on an additional 20k points simply by adding people to your account. Go here to read all the details – you are responsible for your authorized users and there are rules so read them carefully. Great thing is that you earn the points and the category bonus spend. If your mother or son dines out…you get the 4x points. BYAH!
Want the big bro to Amex Gold? Some are getting 150k referrals from Amex Platinum
Go to this article to read all about it, and YMMV, but worth a shot.
What can 90k Amex points get you?
Yes you can fly on Emirates First Class with all the gold accents and flowing champagne your heart desires. Emirates prices these first class flights at 85k between the States and Europe. BYAH!
Another insane example? You can fly the new Singapore Suites from Singapore to Delhi for just 53k points.
Feel free to leave your own referrals if you’d like. FYI – periodically I’ll grab someone’s and stick it in the main links above which will earn you points pretty quickly.
