Amex supplementary card Bonus: Membership Rewards for adding new users

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.

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:

Bottomline

This is a very good offer from American Express, and perhaps the right time to look at adding on more users to your existing American Express relationship.

Which American Express credit or charge card do you use and why do you like it?

  1. MR was offering two thousand points for each supplementary card till June 2019. What a steep devaluation.

  2. Wow! Good time to add some supplementary cards and get some free MR points.. cud get up to 20k extra for free

    • You should be able to get amex plat travel 1 year free. Dont think they would offer it LTF unless you hold a Amex plat charge card. Now they’re letting me keep the amex plat travel on LTF basis

      • Yes, that’s what I gathered from an earlier post. However, here Ajay suggests that you can get it LTF.

        @Ajay – can you please shed some light on this please?

        Thanks
