The link that came in the emails that sends you to the Refer-a-Friend page appears to work for anyone and is thus not personal. If you click on the link it requests that you sign in and once you do you can send referrals. This works with the Personal 30K Link thoughtfully posted by pWei and there is no reason to believe that it would work differently for the Business link.

This is the link to refer, though I don't know if it's the same for everyone.

Works great, thanks pWei!
Main question is, might they not honour it as they can see who was targetted and who not?

highly unlikely. also stepping back, it wouldn't make sense as they are getting new customers and that's the company's ultimate goal. for example I referred to them some high income/high spenders who wouldn't use AMEX if I didn't pitch them on the on the merits. I couldn't get those folks on the 15K spend, but 4.5K spend is enough "hook" to reel them in without feeling too too committed.

AMEX SPG Business Link

I do enough reading on the site that I felt I should contribute something useful. Searched the Internet a bit and found the link for the business application. It was through Fatwallet (the link is in the first section, under the general info about the promotion). So, I'm just going to leave their link in tack. Hope this helps!

I'd like to sign up for the business card.

I have personal referrals for the SPG and would like to swap a sign up

Win win

Just use the link I posted above. It's to a forum in fatwallet that has the business link without the necessary referral.

I tried calling up the SPG AmEx folks trying to finagle my way into this 30K offer myself, but it seems like it was pretty targeted.
Thank you Jake. I appreciate all the information Flyertalk has provided me. I'm checking in. Two phone calls and a secured message request later, I did not have any luck in getting the 30,000 point with lower spend. The secured message reply stated that the bonus was available only to new cards opened through a referral.

The Business application does not appear to work. I click Verify and it just sits there. Tried on two computers, FireFox and IE. I am starting to think they just don't want Business customers.

anyone approved by Business card?

i used referral from a friend so AMX sends me email to apply, I applied Business card in SUN from the AMEX email link, filled in as sole proprietor, 0 revenue, pending after I submit, however now I still cannot find any application status either online or by calling CSR.

They want me to call back 3-5 days later and said their system may grab my app later this week.

I am surprised that I apply by AMEX email link but they still haev not got my app yet.

So anybody here get instant approved for Business card? Or if yours is pending, how long will it show up in their system so you can check?
thanks for exp sharing.

While not as great as last year's promo, this is a great deal and FAR better than what they normally have going on. For those of you on the fence, I'd say jump on this one now. I'd be happy to shoot out a referral to anyone who PMs me.
