Gold biz, Plat and Plat biz still appear to allow referral to the Gold card.
Thanks Mark. The Refer a Friend page when clicking on the Gold card now says:
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Effective July 11th, 2017, this Card is no longer eligible for a referral bonus. You can still refer the Card to your friends and family but you will not earn a referral bonus for any approved referral.
And as per my post from yesterday, the referred signup landing page from OTHER (BizGold, Plat, Biz Plat) MR cards would display the following, when you click to refer to the Gold card:
If your application is approved as part of this referral program, your friend could earn 5,000 bonus points. Your friend will be eligible for this referral bonus amount if you apply for the Card by July 10th , 2017, and your application is approved. We can still accept your application after this date but your friend may or may not be eligible for a bonus.
The above no longer appears there, so does indeed appear to still allow referral to the Gold card.
