Thanks in advance!
Now that's an interesting question that I'd like the answer to as well. You can get any number of EIN's it appears...

Hi Bored,

The parameters at the end appear to be unique to each affiliate.

Doesn't really matter though, does it?

All of the online links i found kept erroring out when I tried signing up, so I called and did that application over the phone.

The woman who read me the terms and conditions made an explicit statement about not purchasing "reloadable" cards.

Seems like they are catching onto the whole vanilla deal, and explicitly prohibiting it.

Anyone else notice that specific language?

I did not know it was an affiliate link (it was shared with me by a SD'er who PM'd me the deal.) It was later posted on SD as well with the same link.

I apologize for the error if it was indeed an affiliate and I will try to be more careful next time I post a deal.

I don't think so. As long as it has 44278-286-0, thats the card you are applying for. Everything else is internal variable passed to vendor to track incoming clicks.
This stuff ...
?PID=14&BUID=SBS&PSKU=BGR&CRTV=BGR75K&VEID=1561779 108&AFFID=k547595
Im guessing publisher ID=14 and sku=bgr and bonus=75K and vendor ID =156.... and affiliate ID = k547...

Some of you mentioned that Business Gold can be a FR trigger. Does this apply to all Amex business cards, or just this card? I might apply for SPG personal and business together some time this year.

You are subject to an FR for any AMEX business card, including SPG. If you want to keep the account (and points) you just need to be honest in your application. Once u establish a spending pattern and you find the need to deviate, give them a call. Say you are going to have some unusual spends for a period of time but changes in your business model have necessitated these changes You might even ask for a temporary credit increase to meet your new spending needs

Now, if you get hit, you are ready

It's not an affiliate link. We routinely check, and if it were it would have been edited because Flyertalk's rules prohibit commercial posts. However, if any member thinks that we have overlooked one the only correct course is to click the triangular Alert icon in the lower left corner of the post and report it. Please don't take the thread off topic by "calling out" the poster.

Seems like a lot of people are getting scared off bc someone mentioned a FR. I guess that's always possible, but I picked up this card last year w the same terms (75k / $10k spend), quickly spent the $10k and had no problems. We'll be picking this up for my partner today. Cheers

I've had an canceled a Gold Delta Skymiles Business Amex within the last 12 months. But I haven't had a Business Gold Rewards card in that time. I was approved for the card but can't tell if I'll be eligible for the 75K bonus or not. Anyone definitively know?

Welcome to Flyertalk. Holding a SkyMiles card does not disqualify you from earning a Membership Rewards bonus.

Thanks! I'm glad to be here. Have been collecting rewards for a few years by churning cards based on the limits I can meet through normal spending. But am now getting into other methods (Wells Fargo, Vanilla Reload). Am very appreciative of tips and info from the experts.
