Its a tricky one, as Amex no longer seems to issue the Green card.
Here is one option. Refer your partner or parents for a Gold card, assuming they have no other Amex-issued Amex's. You bank (between you) 34,000 bonus points and your partners card is fee-free in Year 1. Then, and here is the clever bit, pay £15 to Amex to transfer your MR points to your partner.
Your MR account is them empty and if there is a transfer bonus your partner will be able to take advantage. You can then cancel your Gold.
In a years time, you could also open another Gold card next year and transfer the points back.
