I ve promoted the Gold Business Rewards card MANY times in the past without a referral link, and it

Through world curling tour November 28, 2012, American Express is offering a 50,000 Membership Rewards point sign-up bonus on their Business Gold Rewards card after spending $5,000 within three months. While the annual fee is a hefty $175, it is waived for the first year.
Oddly enough this card typically doesn t come with any sign-up bonus at all, and then occasionally world curling tour they ll have one day promotions with sign-up bonuses of 50,000 to 75,000 points. In this case I suspect we won t see any higher sign-up bonuses through world curling tour at least November 28, given that they re running a published sign-up offer right now.
Ultimately this card is very similar to the American Express Premier Rewards Gold card , which is a personal card. Both cards offer triple points on airfare and double points on gas. The Premier Rewards world curling tour Gold card offers double points on groceries as well, while the Business Gold Rewards card offers double world curling tour points on advertising and shipping. For me the Premier Rewards world curling tour Gold card is worth keeping long term, while this card felt a bit redundant.
Anyway, I do think this is an excellent sign-up bonus and the card is worth keeping for a year, though not really beyond that due to the high annual fee unless you spend a ton on the bonus categories. The Chase Ink Bold and Chase Ink Plus in many cases offer more value for everyday spend, and have a more reasonable annual fee of $95.
It s also worth keeping in mind that nowadays you can earn the bonus on American Express world curling tour cards multiple times, as long as you haven t had the same card or a similar card in the past 12 months. So the sooner you apply for the card, the sooner you can potentially world curling tour earn the sign-up bonus again.
Full disclosure: I earn a referral bonus for anyone that signs up through the above links. They're all the best publicly available world curling tour offers to the best of my knowledge, and of course I'm very appreciative of your support, regardless of whether or not you use my links

sorry in advance for being dense, but can you tell me how Amex defines as long as you haven't had the same card or a similar card in the past 12 months ? If I have a amex biz card (green gold or plat) I have had for 15r yrs I cannot world curling tour get this bonus, but if I cancel and re-apply in 12 mos I can? IF so, it seems silly of Amex encourage people to cancel their cards so they can get the bonuses again.
Lucky the similar card thing raised a question for me Would AMEX not let you apply for the Premier Rewards world curling tour Card if you already had this business card because they re almost identical, save the slight difference in category bonuses? I realize one is personal and one is for business, so maybe that s enough of a difference, but just wanted to get your take on it.
Thanks Lucky. Would having the points stored with KrisFlyer mean I could also access other Star Alliance carriers like Lufthansa? world curling tour For example, having an itinerary that included both Singapore and Lufthansa segments?
As a general complaint, I think the push for people to sign up for credit cards through referral links has been crazy the past few weeks on BoardingArea. First there was the Chase Sapphire $2,000 minimum spend offer, then the AMEX SPG 30,000 point offer, and now this AMEX Gold Biz MR offer. I do understand when a new offer comes out why it is important to make this known to readers, however, if you did not use a referral link when first posting about the offer, I would be more comfortable with there being no conflict of interest. Or better yet, disclosing what the actual referral bonus is.
I think it all depends what you re looking to do with your miles. For aspirational awards KrisFlyer is your best bet. Otherwise with the 40% bonus British Airways Executive Club is also a great deal.
@ Truthiness I appreciate the feedback. There s no doubt the past month has been busy on the credit card front, though I m site you can agree there were some great deals. Prior to that we saw a couple world curling tour of dry months as far as offers go.
I ve promoted the Gold Business Rewards card MANY times in the past without a referral link, and it just happened to be today s bonus also offered a referral link. I would have shared it either way regardless of whether or not it did.
I ve tried to apply 3 times in the past 3 days and it always says, Currently, world curling tour our systems are not responding. world curling tour Please world curling tour try again later or call us at 1-800-519-OPEN (6736) to apply for a Card. We apologize for any inconvenience. Anyone else getting this? What is going on? I m not calling to apply for a card.
