This bonus is broken down as into two parts. You’ll earn 50,000 Membership Rewards Points after you spend $10,000 and an extra 50,000 Membership Rewards Points another $15,000 in the first three months of card membership. In short, you’ll have to spend a total of $25,000 in 3 months to earn a total of 100,000 Membership Rewards Points. It’s a fantastic bonus if you’re looking to spend that amount for your business spend anyway. This offer ends on 09/25/2019.

Self Referral

American Express has a generous referral program where you can earn points for referring people to Amex’s cards. You also have the ability to self-refer. However, if you intend to do this, then please tread carefully. As per reports on Reddit, Amex has started clawing back bonuses from customers for doing a self-referral.
