The Big Boost
From now until 31 October, the bonus for adding your first supplementary card is pumped up to:
- 9,000 Membership Rewards points on Amex Gold (normally 3,000)
- 12,000 Membership Rewards points on Amex Platinum (normally 5,000)
No minimum spend. No hoops. Just hand over a free extra card and watch the points drop.
And here’s the kicker – this stacks with the monster sign-up bonuses running right now:
- 40,000 points on Gold
- 80,000 points on Platinum
Yes, you can have your cake and eat it with a bonus slice of points on top.
Don’t Mess This Up
A couple of things to keep in mind before you start chucking cards around:
- The offer only works on your first-ever supplementary card for that account. Already added one? Sorry, you’re out.
- You’ve got to use the special Amex link. If you faff around with the normal site, the bonus won’t trigger.
- First supplementary card = free. So yes, this is literally points for nothing.

Just remember – use the correct link, or you’ll be stuck watching everyone else rake in free points while you sit there wondering why nothing is posted.
