Wondering if AMEX Canada is shifting away from referral offers
For people without friends to refer, or prefer to have $, GCR is better route ($50 for AMEX Gold, $30 for AMEX Air Miles Plat)
Of all the cards below I own, only Platinum & AP Gold have more welcome bonus via referral. AM Plat is 1250 AM vs. 1200 AM so not a big difference
AMEX
=============================
AMEX Platinum - $699/year, 60K MR after $1000 - via Referral
AMEX Gold - $150/year, FYF, 25K MR after $500
AMEX Biz Gold - $180/year, FYF, 25K MR after $3000
AMEX AeroplanPlus Gold - $120/year, FYF, 30K Aeroplan after $500 - via Referral
