6 months instead of 3 to earn a Welcome Bonus

American Express is extending the welcome bonus offer period to 6 months for several cards. This is all the more interesting for Small Business Cards requiring significant minimum spending.

If the minimum amount to spend in 3 months was a hindrance for you, this may not be the case now that this time limit has increased to 6 months! There’s never been a better time to apply for an American Express Small Business Card!

You’ll find below all the cards involved and the equivalent in monthly expenses over 6 months to earn a welcome bonus! But first, some important notes.

Plan your expenses

As always, the first reminder is to plan your monthly expenses over the next 6 months.

It’s not about getting into debt to earn points; it’s about managing your finances properly.

For example, here are expenses that many of us have:

  • Groceries
  • Monthly subscriptions
  • Online shopping
  • Municipal or School taxes
  • Taxes
  • Home Improvement
  • And many more

For each expense item, define how much you spend monthly. That way, you’ll know which credit cards to apply for to get many points as a welcome bonus!

And we have some tips to unlock welcome bonuses, by finding expenses you don’t currently pay for with a credit card.
