90,000 Points Offer for the Amex Gold Card
American Express has a new targeted offer for the Amex Gold Card with the highest ever bonus. You can earn 90,000 Membership Rewards points if you are targeted. Let’s take a look at the details of this offer.
Update: This offer is even better now with the new referral offers. You get 90,000 Membership Rewards® points plus 20% back at restaurants up to $250. Still YMMV, and possible showing up when referring from a Gold Card.
The Offer
- Earn 90,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $4,000 on eligible purchases with your Card in the first 6 months of Card Membership.
- Plus 20% back as a statement credit at restaurants worldwide up to $250 back during the first 12 months of Card Membership.
- $250 Annual Fee
American Express also has a page for prequalified offers. You can also try opening the direct link, or referral link on a clean browser window. This method usually generates better bonuses than the public offers.
Card Highlights
- Earn 4X Membership Rewards points at U.S. Restaurants, U.S. Supermarkets (on up to $25,000 in purchases annually)
- $120 dining credit which gives enrolled Card Members up to $10 per month in statement credits when they use their Card at eligible dining partners including participating Shake Shack locations, The Cheesecake Factory, Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Grubhub/Seamless
- $120 annually in Uber Cash which can be used on Uber Eats orders or Uber rides in the U.S., up to $10 per month.
Conclusion
This is the highest welcome bonus we have seen for the Amex Gold Card. Plus the spending requirement is the same as the current public offer.
But if your restaurant spending is considerable, then you should also check out the Resy offer for the Amex Gold Card. You can get 75,000 Membership Rewards points, plus 20% back at restaurants worldwide, up to $250 back.

can you plastiq to meet minimum spend req? and pay taxes
Plastiq and paying taxes has not been an issue in the past.
Relatively new to AMEX. I’d like to refer my P2 from my AMEX Plat to an AMEX Gold. My referral link doesn’t show the 90k SUB (just 60k plus the 20% back at restaurants). Is it possible that the referral offer will change (with time, different browsers, or any other way), or it just is what it is?
They change from time to time but it is most likely just the way it will be.
I’m seeing a referral offer that is 90,000mr plus the 20% on restaurants up to $250.
Is this really possible? I’ve tried everything…direct, referral, multiple different browser and incognito, but still cannot get 90k…best is 75k.
