Our Verdict

Numerous people mention seeing this offer. I see it on some referral links, but not all. If you have a few AmEx cards, hopefully you’ll find it showing on at least one of them (just toggle to get to the Business Platinum card).

We saw a similar offer a few months ago for 110,000 points via referral; this one is better at 130,000. There’s also an increased referral offer on the Business Gold card as well. As always you can read more about American Express cards here.
