[Revived] Amex Premier Rewards Gold Card 50k Points After $2,000 Spend
This offer doesn't appear all the time, you need to open multiple browsers/incognito mode to get it to show and use the following link:
https://www304.americanexpress.com/c...rds-gold/25330
Fine print says "If you are identified as a current or former American Express Card Member, this offer may not be available to you" but in the past this hasn't been enforced I don't think.
I tried for awhile to get a 75k offer to appear, but no luck yet. If anybody gets it to appear let me know.

Interesting. I was about to call this a load of crap but kept opening new private browser windows. After about 10 tries of seeing the 25K for $2k offer, sure enough it showed me the 50K offer for $1k spend 1st year annual fee waived. Seems like an odd way to make a promo.
EDIT: And on clicking through to apply it errors out. So close but no cigar.
EDIT 2: Clicked back in browser, then clicked apply again and seems to take me to the app as expected

I got the 50,000 sign up bonus points to show after two tries. But once I sign in to do the short application instead, then the promo vanished stating that I've been identified as a current Amex cardholder. I have two Amex cards, but not the PRG. I wonder if I should apply without signing in, and risk getting the 50,000 MR sign up bonus. What do you guys think? I wanted to sign up for the EDP but if I can get the 50,000 MR bonus with no annual fee the first year, I think this is a better deal. I assume I can convert to the EDP after the annual fee is due.

Yes, always apply without signing in. I assume you have never had the Premier Rewards Gold card?

Got the 50,000 offer, successfully applied. When I first got the page I clicked apply and it took me to an error screen for some reason. I clicked back and the offer was still there, so I clicked apply again and it took me to the app page where it specifically said the app was for the 50,000 point offer. Says it will arrive in 2-3 days.

It also says: This offer is also not available to applicants who have or have had this product., and that provision will be enforced.

You cannot "convert" a charge card to a credit card. You will need to submit a new application for the Everyday Preferred before cancelling the Premier Rewards Gold.

Thanks OP!!!!^
I got the 50000 link on the first try on an incognito browser. I applied for my Dad and he got instantly approved.
My Mom and I had already had the card so I was waiting around for a good offer for him to bite.
Can't believe only $1000 minimum!
Takes a lot of organisation to "pool" constant churning for 3 people and it drives my Dad crazy, but they sure like flying in F......
data point:
I just clicked on the link now, about 3 hours later and got:
25,000 pts for $2000 min.

So forgive my confusion. I tried to read through most of the new AmEx rules re bonus' thread and need some clarification. I am a current AmEx card holder (SPG & Costco). I did have a PR Gold Card about 4 years ago and cancelled it and have not opened any card with AmEx in probably 2 years. This being the case, will I not be able to take advantage of 50,000 MR points or will I be in the clear. Also, I am ultimately holding out for the Platinum 100,000 bonus so if I applied for PRG, would that screw up a Platinum bonus (never had a Platinum card) or am I already not eligible due to being a current AmE card holder. Haven't churned in a while but may be planing one so just trying to wrap my head around these new rules.

how do I find out if Ive had this card or not? Pull an Experian report? I had a gold card 8 years ago but i'm not 100% sure if it was personal or business. It was closed after a FR.
Can I apply for this and the biz card the same day or should I wait in between?

I never had this card before, but I currently have person SPG, Everyday, Hilton and Delta Amex, and Biz Platinum. Will I qualify for this???
Also does Amex limit the amount application within a few days apart? I just got the Delta Reserve on Jan 7, had to close another Delta card as Amex only allow 4 credit cards.

Premier Rewards Gold was introduced in October 2009:

The predecessor card was named: Rewards Plus Gold (which was mentioned in May, 1998)
