Confused? I’m referring to 75,000 points instead of the 50,000 from yesterday’s original post. If you missed it, there were some good tricks at the link in the edit. Personally, the main thing I’m seeing with this card offer is randomness. I pasted the American Express link on a laptop, iPhone, and iPad. The results? I got different offers on each device! So weird…25,000 on one, 50,000 on the other, and 75,000 on the iPad. If you want the big offer, I’d keep playing around with this one. Also, this is not an Amex Personal card, so their once-in-a-lifetime-rule doesn’t apply. You should be ok as long as you haven’t had the card in the last 12 months.

The American Express Business Gold Rewards card usually has a 50,000-point bonus. Except when it doesn’t. This dance happens a lot. Well, the bonus is back. 50,000 points for spending $5,000 in 3 months. As always, read the terms about having the card in the past. Some of you are getting MUCH bigger bonuses in your mailbox so make sure you read those targeted offers.

From Peter:

Thanks for posting the 50,000 offer on your site.  Just an FYI, these tend to pop up in May and November.  November tends to be 50k for $5k spend, in May it tends to be 75k for $10k spend, in 2013 it was 75k for $5k spend.  You may want to tell your readers to sign up, but close it within 3 or 4 months, and then a year later open it again — per T&C, you need to wait 12 months.  So Nov sign up, close by March, open 14 months later in May, close by Sept, open 14 months later in November.

From Ralph:

There is a way to make the 75k offer appear. Use a chrome browser on smartphone
