Don't you have to have a card for awhile before you can give referrals?

How were you otherwise trying?

I have the card. You can login with your username to the referral site. I just did it for the surpass that I just applied for and that worked to generate a referral link.

I just got this card. It would not let me add to my existing Amex online account.

I had to create a seperate log in, and when I log in it doesn't seem to show me my pooled Amex MR points. Also, the Amex Offers are very limited online. Will there be automatic combining of MR or will I need to use the points separately? I was hoping to use the points for my 50 percent points back until October on my business plat.

In my experience new accounts show few Offers to start, but everything else sounds like technical malfunction unless they have made an unpublished decision to segregate these accounts to (for example) prevent combining 2X earnings with the Business Platinum $0.02/$0.015 pay-with-points redemption rates.

Only if the Membership Rewards account number is the same. Does the account show your registered airline transfer partners? I would wait until Wednesday or Thursday and ask for technical assistance.

Ok, thanks. It actually doesn't show any MR info. I will wait until I receive the card and then see if I can tell what's what.

I was approved for this card this morning. I was able to link it to my existing AMEX account (3 personal cards) within a few minutes. Only 2 AMEX offers show. I'm surprised there were any since I don't have the card yet

I had the same experience; I had to create a new login, but within a day or so it was automatically linked to my existing MR account.

When you add a new card to an existing login with cards that already have offers added, those that are already added to the other cards are not available to you. (yet)

Remove the new card and set it up by itself, and you'll see all of the currently available offers. After you add what you want you can remove it and add it back to the other login for simplicity sake.

As a follow-up, as it seems many people have reported the inability to link the card to existing online logins upon approval, I received the physical card today and didn't have any issue now linking it to my existing login, after first removing the card from the new login I created last week.

How do you do the unlinking? Sorry, I'm bad with this stuff.
