I have The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, American Express® Business Gold Card, and The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express, and all 3 are targeted for bonus points for adding additional user cards through 8/26/25!
Check the links below to see if your cards are targeted to earn 15K bonus points for spending $4K on additional user cards within 6 months, on up to 5 additional user cards per primary card:
- Add additional users to Business Platinum (Employee Business Expense Cards have no annual fee and qualify for this promo)
- Add additional users to Business Gold (Employee Business Expense Cards have no annual fee and qualify for this promo)
- Add additional users to Business Blue Plus (Employee Blue Business® Plus Credit Cards have no annual fee and qualify for this promo)
That’s a potential bonus of 225,000 bonus points on top of base earnings if you max out all 3 promos, though that will take a lot of spending to accomplish!
You may want to hold off on applying for cards until you can meet the spending, as the 6 month clock will begin when you apply for the additional user card.
You can even open multiple additional user cards for the same employee!
If you haven’t yet met the welcome bonus spending for a new card, or if you have an AMEX Offer for spending on your card, spending on an additional user card will count towards those thresholds at the same time as well!
- After clicking on the links above, click on add employee cards, and login.
- If it allows you to add cards, you are targeted for this promo.
- If you get a page stating “The offer you are looking for is currently unavailable,” then you are not targeted for this promo.
- Add Employee Card Members to your Account through the promotional offer page and you can earn 15,000 Membership Rewards® points after the Employee Card Member spends $4,000 in eligible purchases on their Card in their first 6 months of Card Membership starting from the date on which the Employee Card Member is added to your Account.
- The maximum points you can earn through this offer is 75,000 Membership Rewards® points.
- Employee Card Members can be added at different times but must be added by 8/26/2025 at 11:59 ET to be eligible for this offer.
- Purchases made by other Employee Card Members on your Account will not count toward an Employee Card Member’s Threshold Amount.
- Purchases made by eligible Employee Card Members will not be combined to satisfy the Threshold Amount.
- Your purchases as the Basic Card Member will not count toward an Employee Card Member’s Threshold Amount.
- If you add multiple Employee Cards to your Account through the promotional offer page, the first 5 Employee Cards that reach the Threshold Amount in their first 6 months of Card Membership will earn you the bonus offer.
- American Express reserves the right to modify or revoke offer at any time.

Not targeted
If I haven’t yet satisfied my $20k spend bonus for signing up for the Biz Plat card last month, can I double dip by doing the spending on an employee card instead
Sure!
And if you have AMEX Offers for spending, you can double dip those as well.
Oh well. Wasn’t targeted
Yes, this would work.
targeted a while ago, 15 for 4k spending, on other card 7k for 4k spending,
also had 5k for 2k spending
Will spend on the employee cards count towards spend for the sign up bonus?
Yes
I had this offer show up in my account mid-late 2024 and got the 75k on my bp. The offer is still showing in my account. can I add more users to get another 15k each if not when does the 75k limit reset
I think that offer ended 12/31/24, so this should be a new offer.
Try and let us know!
Is there a unique code for each offer So I can match up with the points bonus in my account?
If I just opened an employee card could I open another one to get the offer? Close 1st one and open again?
Yes.
No need to close the first one. The same employee can have multiple AU cards.
Does the Amex business platinum card employee card get the same points back per dollar spent (1.5) as the employee credit card for $350 each? Why would someone get the $350 employee credit card?
Lounge Access…
Amex Bus Plat doesn’t get 1.5 back, only on charges over $5K (capped at 1M points per year), or specific categories. Otherwise, it’s a flat 1% card. You don’t get an Amex Plat card to earn points, but to spend them. (And for the various credits, assuming you can get value out of them.)
Unless my math is wrong, this works out to an effective 3.75% in BONUS points. You could literally send yourself a PayPal Invoice, pay the 2.99%+$0.49, and still walk away with .75% (plus the base earnings, so 1.75-2.75%) for each card. Sounds like a no-brainer. (And that’s just assuming you don’t organically have the spend to cover.)
Does PayPal work with Amex? I’ve heard that they are very strict about it.
Set up 2 PayPal accounts, send yourself an invoice for services from one, and pay it like it’s a regular vendor from the other. I haven’t tried it with Amex, but it worked great for Chase for both SUB and quarterly PP (on Freedom).
Alternatively, find a friend with a business that is willing to lend you money and receive payment back via CC… SPEAK TO YOUR ACOUNTANT FIRST.
I’ve read that Amex gets a higher level of data from PayPal and it’s therefore risky with Amex.
Could be, I guess if someone tries it they can let everyone know what happens.
What type of information do you have to put in for the employee for them to get added as a user?
To start you just need the name to confirm the card you need ssn and bday
“You can even open multiple additional user cards for the same employee!”
To be clear – you mean even for any specific card (i.e. Biz Plat), you can add the same employee multiple times as an AU?
Yes
This code is from August 2024. Wonder if we did that deal would it work for this round?
Yes, targeted.
The business expense card works for 4x category for business gold?
Not targeted.
Anything to do about it? chat or check in a few days again?
just to note you need a valid ssn for the authorized cardholder I tried activating with a made up ssn and made up persons name and it did not work on the business platinum only on the amex platinum
@Dan if I just added a expense card to my business platinum card not through this link am I also eligible?
No
This may be new: Pay a $95 annual fee for the first five Business Gold Employee Cards,
“Employee Business Expense Cards have no annual fee and qualify for this promo”
