Amex Credit Cards: Earn Bonus Points for Adding Supplementary Cardholders

American Express has launched a promotion for Canadian cardholders, in which you can earn extra points for adding additional cardholders to select accounts. The offers are valid until February 28, 2023, and are limited to specific cards.

There aren’t any fees for adding cardholders to some accounts, while others come with an additional annual fee. In some cases, the offer can be quite lucrative, especially if the additional cardholders complete the spending requirement with maximum-earning multipliers. 

Some of these offers fall squarely in the “low-hanging fruit” category, so let’s take a look at what’s on the table this time.
