American Express Business Gold Card 155K Bonus
🔃 Update 2: The 155K offer is being sent out by email over the last few days and also showing up in the Amex Offers section. There’s also a direct link, but the offer is targeted. Through this link you can also get an extra 5,000 points when you add an Employee Card and spend $1,000 on that card within the first 3 months. You need to log in to see if you are eligible. The offer has no lifetime language and even seems to bypass the dreaded pop-up. It’s possible to still get this bonus through referrals as well, so that should be your first try if you are eligible for the welcome bonus.
🔃 Update: American Express usually offers dynamic and personalized welcome bonuses for several credit cards. That includes the American Express® Business Gold Card. Now the 150,000 welcome bonus is showing up again. You can try these methods that seem to be working for some:
- Open this link in a chrome desktop incognito. This is a link from Google that was working for many to pull up the 170K Business Platinum offer a few months back. From that landing page, click on the three lines menu in the top right of the page, click on “most popular cards” then Business Gold. It might take a few attempts.
- Search for “amex platinum business” first and click the sponsored link (you might see a 170K offer for the Business Platinum Card here). Then in the same tab look up “amex gold business” and click that sponsored link. Seemed to almost always be an elevated offer at least.
- You can also try another way that was shared in the comments below. Once you get an improved offer (more than 70K), just leave the page open and let it expire. Once it expires, refresh the page and you should see the 150K bonus.
Let me know in the comments if either of these methods works for you. These same methods could also yield a 190,000 welcome bonus for The Business Platinum Card® from American Express.
➡️ Original article: This week, the American Express® Business Gold Card was revamped with added benefits and a higher annual fee that will kick in next year. As for the welcome bonus, I was told that American Express didn’t find it necessary to improve it as the card was already getting extra value. I was also told that the welcome bonus on this card is “dynamic and personalized”. That is something that we already knew, as you can often get offers as high as 130,000 Membership Rewards points.
But actually American Express seems to have made an improvement to the welcome offer. Instead of 130,000, you can see offers as high as 150,000. To see these higher offers, you will need to try applying from different locations, use a clean browser window, and even try different browsers.
Welcome Bonus
- Earn 150,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $10,000 or more on eligible purchases on your Card within your first 3 months of Card Membership starting from the approval date.
- Add an Employee Card at the time of Card application and you can earn an additional 5,000 Membership Rewards® points after the Employee Card Member spends $1,000 or more in purchases on their Employee Card within the first 3 months of Card Membership.
- Annual Fee: annual_fees
- DIRECT LINK | REFERRAL LINK
As mentioned above, the offer will vary. You can try the links here, or even better just google the name of the card and click on the first direct link. If you get it to show through a referral link, that would be even better. The person referring you would also earn the referral bonus.
Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card. We may also consider the number of American Express Cards you have opened and closed as well as other factors in making a decision on your welcome offer eligibility.

Guru’s Wrap-up
This is a great welcome bonus for the Amex Business Gold Card. You need to spend $10,000 in the first 3 months to earn the 150,000 Membership Rewards points. That’s a lot of spending, so make sure you are able to complete it before applying. Keep in mind that this offer has the lifetime language. That means that you are only eligible if you have never had this product in the past (which really means the last 5-7 years).
Let me know if you are able to see this 150K bonus. If you already had this card in the past, you can check these targeted NLL offers.
