Update 6/15/21: New link for this 30,000 offer. Updated below, YMMV. This time there’s an added 10,000 points for adding an employee card within 3 months. There’s also an end date showing of 12/31/21. Keep in mind, there’s a better 50,000 offer which some are getting; that one has $15,000 spend requirement. Hat tip to dannydealguru
The Offer
New link | Direct link to offer (keep in mind, these won’t work for everyone)

- No annual fee

- 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.
