I'm sorry, I should've specified. I used 5985, but it sounded like (as others have said) that 8/1 was the last application/ approval date for that code. Sounds like 6661 is working for people who got the card after 8/1.

Data Point
One of my relatives applied 8/5 and sent a SM the same day asking for 75K with 5985 and was approved. I think it's all a matter of who you get to answer your request.

Quick questions regarding the Business (Gold) card
1) Is it a new account, etc from the Personal (ie separate website login, seperate MR number)
2) What codes have people had success with recently with the Business card.

Many thanks!

1) Personal and Business cards and applications can be managed through the same website login, same MR number

2) Today, I applied for both personal gold and business gold. During my second application, website asked to call in. I did. They just verified my identity and approved both (they said 2nd app is being "held" for 5 days. But approved regardless)

Next step will be to ask for promo codes to be applied once cards arrive.

Which promo code are you going to use? I got 75k with 6661 a few days ago and going for the biz card Thursday if I have time . Reading so much here, can't make my mind up which code to use 100k or 75k one.

Have heard people got 100k on the non platinum, gold biz card ?

If anyone wants a referral for 10,000 bonus points after first use, not after spending $1,000, send me a PM with your name and email address. The current code seems to be 6661 that allows people to get the match for 75, 000 bonus points.

@mase: I did the platinum card first, got the points, then did the gold premier and was promised the points (still waiting, but expecting them). For my wife, I did the gold premier (have been promised the points) and then got the platinum. I SM'd a little while ago and was told no. I am going to wait for the Premier points to post before calling again about the platinum.

I discuss my experiences with each card in detail on my blog, see direct links:

Hey guys, I just got targeted for this card. ID 6661. The offer does not expire until September. I should definitely jump on this correct? (I am actually a little excited I got targeted...my first ever decent targeted bonus!)

Does anyone here know if the AmEx gold business card offer 75k still valid? Could I have the link to apply?

Thumbs down

I got both Gold then Platinum for myself and my wife about 4 weeks apart with no issues. All points posted very quick for my wife. In fact, my wife earned 25K from Plat for spending $1K then when I asked for the 100K bump the guy gave her another 100K, instead of the difference so overall she earned 200K. I just finished my spending requirement for the 100K so they should hit soon!

I don't know why I have a thumbs down. Can't get rid of it.

I've seen it asked once or twice in this thread but can't find an answer. Is this only good for the Business Gold? Or, can it be used for the personal Premiere Rewards Gold card (currently offering a 10,000 points upon first purchase)?

Thanks.

Is that link really dead (as your edit comments say)? It worked last night...
