Information updated on January 17, 2024
Please note that Milesopedia is a partner of American Express Canada.
Therefore, all the links available on Milesopedia are NOT referral links. By applying for your American Express Card via Milesopedia, you support the development of the site and the Milesopedia community, which is 100% free.
Like every year until March 4, 2024, American Express is running a promotion to encourage the referral of friends by doubling or even tripling referral bonuses:
American Express referral is available to any American Express cardmember.
There are 4 categories of American Express Cards:
You can only refer within the same category. And there are limitations in each of these categories to the cards that can be referred.
The referral card will determine the number of points/miles you will receive for the referral. Note that American Express frequently changes the points/miles earned through a referral.
Referral offers may be more attractive than regular offers… but the amount you have to spend will often be much higher than the offers available on this page! So “think twice” before making a referral offer!
To limit abuse, American Express updated the terms and conditions on referrals on March 12, 2020.
Who can I refer?
Thus, it is prohibited:
American Express is strengthening its control over platforms like Reddit or blogs that share referral links (Milesopedia is not one of them).
Self-referral / self-recommendation
Thus, it is now explicitly forbidden to self-sponsor (from a Business Platinum Card to a Gold Business Card for example).
The risk: losing referral points and being excluded from the program.
It is now preferred to refer only within the family, between friends or colleagues.
Here is the current offer for this Card available via Milesopedia:
By logging into your American Express account, you will be able to retrieve a referral link via the“Refer a Friend” option on the left side of the home screen. You can click on this link which will ask you to log in to your American Express account to see the available sponsorship offers.
You will then be taken to this page. If you have multiple American Express cards in your account, choose the one you would like to refer from. Below, I have chosen the Business Platinum Card.
You will then have the option to make a referral via email, retrieve a referral link, or distribute the link via Facebook message.
With this link, your friend will arrive on this page:
They will then have the option to subscribe to the proposed card, or to choose another card that is part of the same referral program (at the bottom of the page):
