American Express often targets current business cardholders with generous welcome bonuses.
These offers are sent by email and post online to your Amex card account. They usually have no lifetime language (NLL), which simply means you are able to qualify for the bonus even if you currently have the card or have had the card in the past. The only stipulation is that you cannot apply for the same card again within 90 days.
See more information below.

Bottom Line
Before submitting your application, it’s always a good idea to go over the terms. Make sure that there’s no lifetime language in the conditions.
If you’ve never had a specific Amex business card in the past, check public and referral bonuses first, as these are often more generous.
