Amex Membership Rewards Cards: Spring 2023 Offers

As we emerge from the cold winter months and head into warmer weather, American Express has released new welcome bonuses on three of its main cards. 

The Business Platinum Card from American Express, the American Express Platinum Card, and the American Express Gold Rewards Card all have upgraded welcome offers without a published end date.

If you’ve been looking to boost your American Express Membership Rewards balance for an upcoming trip, you may want to take advantage of these offers, as long as you can meet the minimum spending requirements.

Amex Business Platinum Card: 100,000 MR Points

The Business Platinum Card from American Express is offering 100,000 MR points upon spending $10,000 in the first three months when applying via a refer-a-friend link. There is no listed expiry date for this offer.

The big hurdle? $10,000 in minimum spending in the first three months. Of course, 100,000 MR points is absolutely worth shifting some spending around for if at all possible! 

Don’t forget that if you’re in two-player mode or more, then your partner, family member, or friend would earn 20,000 MR points as a referral bonus if you applied via their referral link, which would bring the total household gain even higher as you apply for more Amex business cards.

The $499 annual fee on the Business Platinum Card may appear intimidating at first glance, but the benefits of getting the card go a long way towards offsetting the impact of the annual fee.

The Business Platinum Card offers a flat 1.25 MR points per dollar spent on all purchases, making it an ideal card for business owners whose large volumes of spending may not fall into traditional credit card bonus categories.

And just like the personal version, the premium travel benefits – including the same lounge access benefits and Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status – is what really makes the Business Platinum Card a favourite product among high-flying points collectors and business owners across all the land.
