For the first half of this year, American Express was offering an Amex Supplementary Card Bonus which included Membership Rewards and Amazon Vouchers for adding supplementary cardmembers. Now, American Express is out with an Amex Supplementary Card bonus as of earlier this week for all their cardmembers, where you can earn yourself  Membership Rewards points for adding new supplementary cardmembers.

Amex Supplementary Card Bonus

The new promotion gets you bonus Membership Rewards points when you add new supplementary cardmembers to your existing American Express Card account for these cards.

• American Express Platinum Charge Card: 5000 bonus Membership Rewards points per supplementary cardmember. You can add up to 4 additional cards for free.
• American Express Platinum Reserve Credit Card: 3000 bonus Membership Rewards points per cardmember added. You can add up to 4 additional cards for free.
• American Express Platinum Travel Credit Card: 2000 bonus Membership Rewards points per cardmember added. You can add up to 2 additional cards for free.
• American Express Gold Charge Card: 1000 bonus Membership Rewards points per cardmember added. You can add up to 2 additional cards for free.
• American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card: 1000 bonus Membership Rewards Points per cardmember added. You can add up to 2 additional cards for free.

The promotion was launched on July 1, 2019, and will be on offer for cardmembers who apply to add new supplementary cards till September 30, 2019, You will need to send in some documents for these add-on cardmembers, and they need to be issued by Amex by October 31, 2019. Usually, it takes ten business days to issue add-on cards after you provide the necessary papers. Expect your bonuses by December 31, 2019. Here is the T&C.

I think this promotion is excellent when combined with another promotion for the American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card or the American Express Platinum Travel Credit Card, both of which are possible to get lifetime free at the moment.

Additionally, if you choose to add a new card to your wallet to benefit from this promotion more wholesomely, here is how to combine those with a bonus offer from our side:

• American Express Platinum Reserve Credit Card: 11,000 MR points + 4,000 bonus MR Points, only for INR 5,000 for the first year. It also gets you access to the fabulous Amex Lounge in Mumbai & Delhi.

Bottomline
