It’s been a long time since American Express has had any decent offers. If you’ve been wanting to get some American Express Rewards points, this is your ‘golden’ opportunity.
You have an opportunity to get 25,000 American Express Rewards points from the American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card. Sign up for the card and spend $2,000 in the first three months od Card membership.
The standard offer (and as far as I can tell, the best publicly available offer) is 15,000 points.
To be clear, this is a good offer, just not fantastic. American Express hasn’t had much of anything lately to get excited about, so at least this is a step in the right direction.
American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card
- Sign up using this link.
- Spend $2,000 in the first 90 days.
- You’ll get the first year without an annual fee ($175 thereafter).
- Get 25,000 American Express Rewards points.
Let’s talk for a moment about the value of American Express Rewards Points.
There is no doubt that with the loss of United from the program, these points have devalued over the last year.
However, the advantage of American Express Rewards points is that they often run transfer bonuses. For example, right now you can get a 30% bonus when you transfer to British Airways. That means you could end up with 32,500 British Airways Avios miles by signing up for this card.
Delta is also a transfer partner, and they do frequently run transfer bonuses as well.
This card is actually really good, too!
I think this is the best part of the promotion.
My wife currently has the Premier Rewards Gold card, and one of the things I really like about it is the opportunity to get 3 points per dollar spent on airfare. If you travel a lot or buy lots of airfare, you won’t find a better card for earning airfare bonus points.
You’ll get double points on gas and groceries and a point per dollar on everything else.
I think I’ll still stick with my Visa card; they have good rewards offers you don’t have to wait forever for!
Which Visa card?
I have a couple Amex credit cards and want the Premier Gold. On the website when I log into my account, I am pre-approved for this card. However, when I go to apply all I see is the mention of waiving the $175 annual fee for the first year. I am assuming, since I cannot see anything about the sign up reward points (the 15k version), that signing up in that method (i.e. a current Amex account) won’t get me any signup points?
Which leads me to…. applying via your link (or any way without being logged into my account and going the pre-approved route)……. would that give me the signup reward points (25k via your link)?

Gary,
Yes, if I send you a link you can get 25,000 miles for signing up. I have your first name and email address, but would need you to email (htcheap at gmail dot com) your last name and I’ll send you the link.
