Amex AU Spending Offers For Platinum and PRG, Earn up to 20K MR Points
American Express has sent out email with another nice offer for adding Authorized Users on the personal Platinum card and Premier Rewards Gold card. Let’s take a look at the offers.
Amex Platinum Offer
Earn 5,000 bonus Membership Rewards® points for each of the first four Additional Cards that you add through this email that spend $500 in their first 3 months, starting from the date that they are approved. Additional Cards must be added by August 30, 2017 to be eligible for this offer. The maximum bonus points you can earn through this offer is 20,000.
Key Terms
- Additional Cards must be added by August 30, 2017
- Both Additional Gold Cards and Additional Platinum Cards are eligible for this offer.
- The 5,000 bonus Membership Rewards points will be posted to the Basic Card Member’s account within 8–12 weeks after an Additional Card Member makes $500 in purchases.
- Your purchases as the Basic Card Member will not count toward the $500 spend requirement.
PRG Offer
When you add Additional Card members to your Premier Rewards Gold Card, you can share the benefits with those most important to you and earn even more Membership rewards points. And, with this special offer, you can earn up to 20,000 Membership rewards Points – 5,000 Membership Rewards Points for each of the first four new Additional Card Members that are added through this email and each spend $500 or more in purchases on their cards in the first 3 months of Card membership.
Key Terms
- Additional Cards must be added by August 30, 2017
- The 5,000 bonus Membership Rewards points will be posted to the Basic Card Member’s account within 8–12 weeks after an Additional Card Member makes $500 in purchases.
- Your purchases as the Basic Card Member will not count toward the $500 spend requirement.
Conclusion
The offer in itself is great, as it gives you 10X MR points up to 20,000 MR points total. The only issue here is that you need to add Authorized Users and that would show up as another credit card on that person’s credit report. If that’s not an issue and you were targeted, then it is definitely worth it.

Wait. I was interested in this until I realized that I would have to pay an additional fee for these new AUs. These are not free points. You failed to mention this.
