American Express just came out with their new American Express Business cheap airline tickets student discount Gold Rewards Credit Card offer 50,000 Membership Reward points after $5,000 in spend within 3 months. Additionally, the annual fee of $175 is waived for the first year. This is currently a limited time offer through cheap airline tickets student discount November 26, 2012.
In the past 10 months or so, there has actually been no bonus points awarded with this card, so the 50,000 points is great. There have been a few one day offers for 75,000 points, although cheap airline tickets student discount the minimum spend required cheap airline tickets student discount $10,000. My assumption though is that since the offer is at a static 50,000 points, those one day only 75,000 point offers will not appear. While I personally think the American Express Membership Rewards cheap airline tickets student discount program has declined significantly in the past year (no more United and Southwest partnership, no Delta transfer bonuses, and horrible transfer rates to hotel programs), 50,000 Membership Reward points can go a long way. For example, with the 40% transfer bonus to British Airways Avios points offer I blogged about yesterday, these 50k points can net you 70,000 Avios points. cheap airline tickets student discount I am a bigger cheap airline tickets student discount fan of the Chase Ultimate Rewards program , but they have never had a transfer bonus like Amex has from time to time. If you can redeem your points during the transfer bonus promotions, then these Membership Reward points can go a long way.
This card, along with the personal American Express Premier Gold card , also has a great value when used to purchase airfare. You will earn 3 points/$1 on all airfare purchases, which is much more than any of the airline specific credit cards will give you. You will also earn 2 points/$1 spent on advertising, gas, and shipping purchases. You will then earn 1 point/$1 on every other purchases. (*for the triple and double cheap airline tickets student discount points, you will earn this bonus on the first $100,000 of eligible cheap airline tickets student discount purchases in each category each calendar year, and then 1 point/$1 thereafter). My husband has the Amex Business Rewards Gold card and it is used to purchase all of our flights.
The other benefit of this card (along with all OPEN credit cards) is the discount you ll receive at some popular merchants. My personal favorite are 10% at Office Max, 10% at Hertz, 5% at FedEx, 5% at Marriott Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Springill Suites, Residence Inn, and TownePlace Suites, 5% at 1-800-FLOWERS, 5% at Barnes Nobles, and 3% at Hyatt.
I ve also been on a huge American Express kick with the statement cheap airline tickets student discount credits and have been able to pay for the annual fee on my cards while making money. This is just another card to add to the money making pile (that is if you take advantage of those offers)!
Unfortunately, cheap airline tickets student discount existing American Express OPEN Gold Card members who have had this card in the past 12 months are not eligible for this offer. And remember, although this is a business credit card, who is to say selling items on ebay, for example, cheap airline tickets student discount is not considered a business! Right?!

cheap airline tickets student discount The only thing I d caution people against is grabbing the card for the express cheap airline tickets student discount purpose of taking advantage of the Avios 40% bonus. That promo (last I heard) is only going on until Septempber 27th which means you d need to get your card, meet your spend, pay your bill and wait for the points to post which is a tall order to meet before the end of September.
@Mike That is correct. Chances are you will NOT receive the new bonus points cheap airline tickets student discount prior to September 27th. However, these Avios promos seem to be pretty common, although cheap airline tickets student discount not guaranteed. cheap airline tickets student discount You can, however, do a point advance if you have an Amex card to get some of the bonus points.
Can you do points advance on gold? I thought that was Platinum cheap airline tickets student discount only? I already took 60k advance from my platinum and put it in there with the intention of paying it back with the 75k points from my business gold. If I can advance from the gold as well I might just do that.
I had previously applied cheap airline tickets student discount and had gotten the 50 K points and then cancelled it just before i was charged the 175 $ charge( almost a yr) ,its going to be 6 months cheap airline tickets student discount after i cancelled my gold card will i be eligible for this offer
