Thanks
This beats applying for cards - In the usual multiplayer mode, each card has 5 users
Business Gold card = 4k+15= 19k x 5 = 95k
Business Plus card = 4k+15= 19k x 5 = 95k
Business Platinum Card = 5k (for the 1.5x) = 7.5+15= 22.5 x5 = 112.5
So each person gets 95+95+112= 300k for spend needed 20+20+25 = 65 k spend @ cost of 1500$
about 0.5c per MR - cash out @1.1c for 3300$ or use at 1.5c for travel or transfer to partners during bonuses
And with multipleyer mode for 5 people = 1.5M Amex for 7500$
enough to keep the family occupied for 6 months just dealing with the spend and keeping it all straight!
I too have been applying for these no fee employee cards and they continue to pay off (literally - within a week or less after hitting the $4K spend). On the Amex Business Gold, it is a solid 7.75 MR points on US dining, for example.
There is one thing that I worry about, though, and I would appreciate it if anyone knows more than me. It concerns how long one must keep the employee card open or risk a clawback from Amex. Nothing is stipulated in the text quoted above by
MIA, and that would be fine with me. However, I recall reading a post by Vinh at MilesPerDay that suggested to me -- and maybe I was misunderstanding -- that he lost a bunch of points generated with these employee cards when he closed his main card (since this by nature closes the employee cards.) But maybe you don't have to keep them open for 12 months.
