Starting March 9th, 2023, American Express is launching a time-limited promotion that allows qualifying Card Members to earn extra rewards when shopping at U.S. supermarkets. This is part of the promotion that is giving referring card members higher referral bonuses and new card members higher welcome bonuses.
Offer Details
If an eligible Card Member successfully refers a friend who applies and gets approved for an account before June 7, 2023, they will receive an additional 5X Membership Rewards Points, 5X Miles, or 5% Cash Back (depending on their eligible Card) per dollar spent on eligible U.S. supermarket purchases for three months. This offer is valid for purchases of up to $25,000 and begins from the date the referred friend’s account is opened.
For instance, eligible Delta Skymiles Reserve American Express Card Members can earn 6X Miles on eligible U.S. supermarket purchases (1X Miles on eligible purchases plus 5X Bonus Miles) and American Express Green Card Members can earn 6X Membership Rewards Points on eligible U.S. Supermarket purchases (1X on eligible purchases plus 5 additional Membership Rewards Points) for three months, up to $25,000.
Moreover, this additional earning is on top of the referral bonus that Card Members typically receive, which may range from 10,000 Membership Rewards Points to 45,000 in some cases.
Amex has increased the maximum amount of referral bonuses targeted cardmembers can receive annually. The limit used to be, and still is for some members, 55,000 Membership Rewards points each year. For some members, that limit has risen to 100,000 points. Check your email for a message from Amex to see if you qualify, or enter your information onto the referral page to see if you’re eligible.
