Last Chance Check To See How Many Amex Points You Can Earn For Referring A Friend In October

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here.Large welcome bonuses offer a great opportunity to boost your account balance — as do shopping portals and bonus categories — but there’s another oft-overlooked option available with a handful of cards: referral bonuses. American Express launched a limited-time referral program in October to help cardholders maximize the card recommendations they make to friends and family. Unfortunately, the October refer-a-friend promotion is coming to an end, but you still have time to earn one of the amazing referrals.How the October refer-a-friend offers workIn many cases, it’s easy to earn thousands of bonus points or cash back. When a friend applies for a new account using your custom link, you’ll be eligible for a bonus after they’re approved. They’ll still be eligible for a welcome bonus as well, making it a win-win for you and your friend. This month, American Express is sweetening the deal even further. When your friend applies for a new account by Oct. 28, 2020, you may also be able to earn more rewards per dollar spent for the first three months after they’re approved. Be sure to see your specific offer right here for more details.For example, on my American Express® Gold Card, I’m eligible to earn 25,000 Membership Rewards points (instead of the typical 10,000), but I’ll also get an additional 3x on all spending for three months if my referral is approved. That means I’d earn 7x on U.S. supermarkets (up to $25,000 per year; then 1x) and restaurants, 6x on eligible airfare and 3x on all other purchases.Screenshot courtesy of American ExpressThis particular offer is available with the following Amex cards:Amex EveryDay® Credit Card from American ExpressAmex EveryDay® Preferred Credit Card from American ExpressBlue Cash Everyday® Card from American ExpressBlue Cash Preferred® Card from American ExpressAmerican Express Cash Magnet® CardDelta SkyMiles® Blue American Express CardDelta SkyMiles® Gold American Express CardDelta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express CardDelta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express CardThe Platinum Card® from American ExpressAmerican Express® Gold CardAmerican Express® Green CardHilton Honors American Express CardHilton Honors American Express Aspire CardMarriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® CardThe information for the Amex Cash Magnet, Amex EveryDay, Amex EveryDay Preferred, Amex Green cards has been collected independently by The Points Guy.
