Hey guys, quick question, does someone have the steps to refer-a-friend for Business Platinum or Business Gold from Cobalt? I only have the Cobalt but it seems, I can only refer a friend to Cobalt only, not even the personal Gold. Really confused? I think I am searching in the wrong place
Just so I am clear, I currently hold the Marriott Bonvoy Business Card, I would still be able to receive a referral bonus if I refer a friend to the Marriott Bonvoy Card (non-business), correct? And if so, how much referral points will I receive? It does not specify on my referral page.
If I refer from my Marriott Bonvoy Amex right now I get a 10,000 bonus and my referee gets a 10,000 bonus but will she get the regular signup bonus of 50,000 or the current 70,000 enhanced signup bonus plus the 10,000 for 80,000?
The referee doesn’t get the 10,000 points, only you do. They would get the 70,000 points at the moment.
How do I refer the personal platinum card from my business platinum account?
I’m trying to find where I can refer a personal platinum card to a friend – but cannot find any other option other than referring business platinum.
So is it correct that one cannot refer from the Bonvoy to the Aeroplan?
Correct, you cannot.
Hmm I have my Cobalt + Personal Gold card, but I cannot refer to Platinum or Business Platinum card as you suggested, only to each other.
I just got approved for the Business Platinum card (literally yesterday), and will see if I can refer the Personal to myself 🙂
Self-referral is really risky
From my Amex Biz Plat account, I see this offer for referring Amex personal Platinum
