Amex Authorized User Bonuses

Amex Authorized User Bonuses

American Express offers generous bonuses for adding authorized users to credit card accounts. When you log into your accounts, these offers are sent by mail, email or online. Take a look at the offers.

There is a new link that can work for Amex Platinum authorized users. Even though my wife got the offer back in December, it worked on her Platinum card. It is for 20,000 points after spending $4000 in 6 months. The link is here.

There are more offers going out. My wife was targeted to do it a second time.

I received an offer for 10,000 Skymiles after I spent $500 on my Delta Reserve. My wife received 5,000 MR points after spending $1,000 on her Everyday Preferred.

I got a 20K after spending $4,000 on my business card.

I saw a 5,000 point offer after spending $1,000 on my Amex Green card in the first 6 months. My wife is getting a 10,000 point offer after spending $2,000 on her personal Amex Gold card.

New offers were sent out. When I check my Amex Business Gold cards, I put it at the top of the page. 20K for spending $4K within 6 months for up to 4 people. It didn't come back after I left.

Key Terms

  • Points will be posted to the Basic Card Member’s account within 8–12 weeks after an Additional Card Member makes required purchases.
  • Your purchases as the Basic Card Member will not count toward the $500 spend requirement.
  • The Additional Card Member’s Social Security Number and Date of Birth are not required to submit this request. However, this information must be provided by you or the Additional Card Member within 60 days after the Card is issued, or the Additional Card will be canceled.
  • Maximum of one 10K/20K bonus per account.

Conclusion

Adding just one authorized user to your account is possible with these great offers. It works out to 10X Membership Reward on the Platinum Card or 20X for the Delta Reserve and Everyday cards.

If you want some of the extra benefits, you should get the free additional user cards for the Platinum or Delta Reserve. If the card is open, an authorized user can count against the Chase count. Depending on the representative that you deal with, it may be possible to call in and have them remove this on a reconsideration call.

I would suggest completing the spending requirement with organic spend.

Please let us know if you were targeted for these offers, or any similar ones.
