Question #1: Referral bonuses don't work anymore, am I right?

So my thought originally was to refer the Gold MR to my wife, have her apply and receive the bonus and cancel her original card which is coming due in April.

So here are some other questions:

2. Is the 25000 sign up bonus completely dead, or is there a trick to getting it?

3. How do you make sure new cards with the MR points that come with it get attached to the same account?

Thanks in advance and if you don't want to publicly answer please pm me. I'll be eternally grateful

1. Sadly, as GOLD cardholder, you don't earn referral bonus anymore. You cannot get 2 of the same cards either (no 2 GOLD at the same time)

2. 25K Welcome bonus is still there

3. You can enter your existing AMEX during application and it'll auto-link your existing AMEX MR account. Or you can leave it or enter an SPG card and you may get a new AMEX MR account
