About American Express Referral Program
Through the American Express referral program, any Amex cardholder can refer others to any other Amex card. The key is to refer from the card with the highest bonus, no matter which card your friend will sign up for. Therefore, American Express Gold members who were offered a 30,000 bonus, should refer from that card and the new member is free to sign up for any Amex cards in the program.
Bottom Line
If you received the higher referral offer, be sure to save the link. Apparently, when the bonus reverts back to the lower offer, your referral link for the higher bonuses is still valid.
