Our Verdict
Standard offer is 60,000 points, I was getting 90,000 points to show frequently but 100,000 points was much more difficult. Things you can try:
- Open offer in incognito mode
- Try searching on google and then clicking through to the gold page
- Click through to the gold page from other American Express pages
- Different browsers/computer/phone
- VPN/Hotspot (careful applying)
100,000 + $100 offer is one of the best we have seen, other good offers were 90,000 + $250 in the past. I think if you can get the 100,000 + $100 offer to show and haven’t held the card before it’s definitely worth considering, I just wish it was easier to get the offer to appear. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses with the caveat that this isn’t the public bonus. Hopefully this offer without lifetime language appears soon. Before applying read these things everybody should know about American Express.
