Means you won't be able to get a rebate through a portal (GCR, etc.) when you apply but at least you'll get the bonus again.
She applied via my referral link generated by another Amex Gold Rewards. Actually, now that I look at my MR statements, I don't seem to have any evidence of getting a referral bonus for that particular card.
