Got an 75000/5koffer via the account, open the link and read through the disclosure and closed it to fill out later.

That was 2 days ago, now I am getting an error saying that I am not targeted when I click on the link in my account.

Amex Biz Gold Rewards 75K offer "systems are currently down"

I have a link for 75K points for $5K in spend but everytime I try and complete the offer I get this message:
"We're sorry, our systems are currently down. Please try to apply again later. Alternately, you can apply by phone 24/7 by calling 1-800-519-OPEN."

I tried to get the offer on the phone but they can't find it. What am I doing wrong?

This is a targeted offer. The response you are getting indicates that you are not targeted.

I get the same response, so you are not the only one out of luck.

That makes sense, thanks for the info. The best offer for any non Plat card is only 25K?

AMEX BGR 50k offer

Is 50,000 a good offer on AMEX Business GOld Rewards? I won't (shouldn't) have a problem getting the card but I don't really have any use for these specific categories. Mainly getting it for sign-up bonus. Since AMEX cards only have one sign-up per lifetime (now extended to business cc's as well, right). If that's the case, I'd rather wait for the best sign-up available on BGR. But if it's churnable... that's a different thing.

Any thoughts?

Definitely not the best available. 75k isn't particularly rare, but you have to be targeted for it. The BRG also may be churnable, as the current offer doesn't include the once-in-a-lifetime language, but they may decide to enforce that just because.

I thought they had started enforcing the non-churn language on biz cards as of early 2016. Is that incorrect?

Thanks for DP on 50k points. I'll probably hold for little longer before I sign-up.

The current public offer does include this exclusion: Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product.

The exclusion only applies if it appears in the terms of the specific offer. There have always been targeted offers without the exclusion, and they have become more common in 2016.

Same offer appeared in my amex online account, same URL as well. Applied and was approved! First time getting a Business Rewards Gold charge card for me.

Are charges on employee cards counted towards the minimum $5,000 initial spend? I've googled a bit, found that AU charges are counted so I'm assuming an employee card is similar to an AU?

You have to be targeted.

Should I RSVP to an Amex 75k targeted offer, even though I did an app-o-rama less than 90 days ago?

It can be found by anyone, but when you click you will need to login, and if you are not targeted it will display a system error.
