Amex Refer A Friend Points Booster

Last year we talked about one of the easiest ways to earn yourself 200,000 bonus points with American Express’s ‘Refer a friend’ program. If you’re not familiar with how exactly this works, check out that post here.

This month Amex is sweetening the deal big time! Instead of the usual bonus you get for referring a friend to Amex, they’re now boosting the offer until August 15. For a list of our favourite cards to refer, check this post here.

For those with a lot of friends (or those that already reached the 200,000 point cap this year), Amex has come to the table and added an extra 200,000 point cap to the total tally. This means if you haven’t referred anyone yet during your membership year so far, you could potentially earn a rather healthy 400,000 bonus points! To put that in perspective, check out our handy guide to see what you can do with those points here.

Amex has supercharged the referral bonus by a minimum of 100% and on some cards, it’s even higher.

Amex Points Booster Ends In: Things to keep in mind

This booster promotion is only available for personal cards and does not apply to business or corporate Amex products. It’s also important to keep in mind that you’re only allowed to refer friends and family, spamming your unique referral link online is a sure way of getting your account shut down.

So what are you waiting for? With up to 60,000 bonus points per referral on the line; head over here to generate your own unique referral link!
