Amex Referral Bonuses Are Back, Baby! Check Your Offers Now!
Published on October 3, 2025, 9:48 PM
Heads up, Amex cardholders! It looks like American Express is playing the referral bonus game again, with some users seeing boosted offers on their cards. We're talking potential bonuses of up to 45,000 points per referral on some cards, although 30,000 seems more common. These offers are targeted, so you'll need to log into your Amex account or app to see what's available to you. Offers vary and change often, so check back regularly.
Why should you care? Free points, of course! Amex allows you to refer friends and family for *any* of their cards, regardless of which card you're referring *from*. So, if you're sitting on an Amex Gold card with a juicy 30,000-point referral bonus, you can refer someone to the Amex Blue Cash Everyday (even though it's not a Gold card) and still snag those points if they're approved.
There's a limit to how many points you can earn through referrals each year (it varies, but many cards max out at 55,000 or even 100,000). So, if you see a high offer, grab your referral link and stash it somewhere safe! Even if the standard offer drops later, you should still be able to use that higher-bonus link. Happy referring and happy travels!
