How can I get an American Express referral bonus?

You can get an American Express referral bonus by logging in to your online account on Amex’s Refer a Friend page and then choosing the Amex card you want to use to create a referral link. You can choose whether to send an Amex referral link by email, create a personalized link to share anywhere, or make a post directly on Facebook or Twitter.... read full answer

Someone you refer must then submit a credit card application using your referral link and be approved. For each person approved, you will receive a referral bonus on your American Express card within 8 to 12 weeks. Bonuses vary by card and have yearly maximums.

One unusual feature of the American Express referral process is that the person you refer does not need to apply for the same credit card you have. They can actually apply for any Amex card. When a person clicks your link, it will send them to the page for the card you chose at the beginning of the referral process. But they can click “View all Cards with a Referral Offer” to choose a different card.
