New amex card to your account
Underrated question.
I just called up and spoke to an Amex rep but he said he didn't know anything about the offer.
I got confirmation on online chat then was asked to call.
Are you saying you get 5k points when you add a secondary card holder to your amex account?
What’s the point, redemptions have been totally devalued
5000 points
5000 new points. That is worth like 3k old points?
2.5k to be precise
Not as good as the old days, that's for sure. Still, it's 2.5k miles, plus another set of ShopSmall transactions (up to $50 cash back).
Can I get another card for myself?
From my amex portal.

Where in the amex portal did you find this?
as soon as I log in a popup box appears with that text and an 'apply now' button.
edit: just clicked on the link - definitely supplementary card - https://s.put.re/QeHXDHgN.png
Is this apply for getting a new supplement card.
No
Works on both my Platnium edge and essential card.
Had to do add the accounts over the phone tho.
Did you get the pop up about the offer when you logged on?
Nope, I called up said I heard there was a promotion. CS said Yup, and ran me through the process
Anyone get their points yet? I made the min spend a week ago, was slightly surprised that Amex didn't credit it automatically as they often do. Had a statement post-spend with no bonus points as yet.
I got the e-mail for this for my Velocity Escape card today
Just got hit $295 annual fee for my amex dj platinum! Tips reimburse/avoid the fee?
Good luck; I heard it's hard to get that fee waived.
Don't you consider the fees before you sign up?
Do you go to the movies with your friends then at the counter try to get the payment waived?
I just spoke to AMEX and the offer is that application was required by the 22/06/19 and then the Additional Card Member needs to spend $500 by 31st July 2019.
Add what card?
