Our Verdict

This is bigger than the previous high offer of 30,000 points. This offer does require $15,000 in spend though, the plus is that this card earns 2x Membership Rewards on $50,000 in purchases per calendar year so works out to be a total of 80,000 points for $15,000 spend. Great offer if you are eligible, will add this to the YMMV section of the best card bonus page.

No annual fee
No lifetime language
0% APR for first 15 months

Our Verdict

Not sure how widely available this offer is, likely very targeted. Lately they had a weird $300-credits signup bonus, but the standard has been either zero or 10,000 points since launch. We have seen targeted offers as high as 25,000 before, but never 30,000.

It’s not necessarily the best offer as you can technically get a referral from someone who will earn up to 30,000 points, in addition to the 10,000 points signup offer the new cardmember gets. That said, this is quite a good deal given the potential tax implications of referral bonuses whereas signup bonuses are not taxable.

If you have any questions about American Express cards, read this first as it addresses the common questions.
