Yes, but only on the Blue Business Plus. On other cards, it's 2 pts. (I presume you know that, but I'm posting that in case someone didn't read your post carefully or doesn't know how the Blue Business Plus card works.)

In fact, all Amex offers that say "1 additional bonus point" are really 1.5x essntially, not 2x, on the Blue Business Plus card.

Such offers are not necessarily a full 2x either on ED or EDP cards where you got to "20" or "30" that month, either.

Which is why Amex should stop with the "2x" completely and only say "1 additional MR point" and no "X" language at all (unless it's only in an example perhaps).
