Hello! Just referred my P2, but the application got instant approved. In the past the points showed up almost immediately into my account, but this time I don’t see it yet. Anyone else seeing a delay between approval and points posting?
I have just had the exact same experience … did your referral points eventually post?
Update: took an hour but the referral eventually posted.
Yes I noticed that too. Nowadays it takes 1hr to 1hr10min for it to post
“Business Platinum can refer to Business Platinum, Business Gold, and Platinum” – I thought Business Platinum can also refer ro Business Edge?
That used to be the case, but now the Business Edge can only be referred to/from the Business Edge.
Can I refer someone to a different Amex card or does it have to be the same one?
I have the platinum card now. Can I refer someone to the Amex business gold and still get the bonus?
If not, if my partner completes application and is approved for the Amex platinum, do I get the points even if it’s not activated and annual fee isn’t paid? And then she could then just apply for the business gold rewards separately?
I have a Scotiabank gold Amex card and can not figure out how to refer a friend (My wife in this case). Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
Scotiabank-issued Amex cards aren’t eligible for refer-a-friend.
A quick data point – I previously had AMEX Cobalt card, which I had canceled (and kept P2’s card in the household) in Feb 2021. Under this bonus offers, I referred myself from P2’s business gold and applied for the Cobalt card again. The referral points were posted to P2’s account within 2 mins of my application being approved. That was the fastest I have ever seen referral points post.
Now the question is – what do I do with P2’s Cobalt? The fee is manageable on these cards and we have actually made money on P2’s cobalt through various AMEX offers, but it becomes difficult to utilize AMEX offers with 8 AMEX cards (9 now with new Cobalt coming in a few days) in the household! Can I downgrade P2’s cobalt to Green Card now and keep her MR-S points alive?
Would it be a bad idea to refer each other now for business edge then Bonvoy in October? Is it too many cards in a short period? I am pretty sure we can meet the spend requirements
Nothing wrong with that, just be absolutely sure you can meet the spend requirements.
Meeting spend requirements is usually not a problem. Other half got platinum in July and we met it within a week.
Most of our spend is “wasted” as we spend more…I would say we spent 30k since getting that platinum and I am now holding off until we can get another card. I thought we each have to wait 90 days
Do the bonus Aeroplan points count towards Everyday Status Qualification?
Referral bonuses likely do not count towards EDQ.
Man!! I JUST referred a friend 2 days ago!!🤦🏼♂️
thanks for letting us know, ill have to convince some others lol
