The American Express Platinum Business Premium Cash Rebate Card is again offering a $250 statement credit (update: removed) after your first purchase, with no annual fee. If you got in on this last time like I did, you may not be able to get it again unless you have a 2nd business – “You may be permitted to have more than one American Express? Business Card account; however, you are eligible to receive only one promotional $250 statement credit per unique business.”
See other similar $100+ bonuses here.
Added: I just saw this if you click on “Special Offer” in the upper-left – “Note: Only business owners who received this offer via Inc. Magazine qualify to apply for a Card through this website.” I don’t remember seeing that last time, so watch out.
Offer available on The Business Gold Rewards Card, 2nd from Left.
Here is the fine print:
To redeem this offer, the Cardmember must activate and make the first purchase on the Business Gold Rewards Card between December 15, 2006 and April 30, 2007. The $250 statement credit will appear on your monthly billing statement following your first single eligible purchase. The maximum discount available is $250.00. This promotional offer pertains to a specific American Express? Business Card product, please reference the OPEN Savings? Summary on your monthly billing statement or online at open.americanexpress.com to determine Card eligibility. You may be permitted to have more than one American Express? Business Card account; however, you are eligible to receive only one promotional $250 statement credit per unique business. Participation and offers are subject to change without notice.
There’s also $150 statement credit for a Sony (issuer Chase) card.
Jonathan, here is something important.
The maximum discount available is $250.00. This promotional offer pertains to a specific American Express? Business Card product, please reference the OPEN Savings? Summary on your monthly billing statement or online at open.americanexpress.com to determine Card eligibility.
Also check out the Business Gold Card (Second from the left). $250 statement credit AND 5000 points ($50) after first purchase, however, the card must be canceled to avoid the annual fee (first year is free but they will slap you in the face with it after one year). Gold Card ($300) + Platinum Cash ($250) equals pure sweetness.
Where are you guys finding the details you’re posting? I’ve clicked all over including going to the “Apply Now” page and can’t find free cash for any of the cards.
Oh, I just picked the one without the annual fee. The $250 is mentioned at the bottom of each application.
does my home-based side ebay business count or do I actually need to be incorporated to qualify for this card?
I just opened a AMEX Open card based on the older tip. I opened that card in November and I did receive the $100.00 credit off my first purchase.
Can I make use of this as well? How exactly?
Want everyone to know that I got the $250 credit. Was given almost instantly after the first purchase. Kudos to Amex for honoring their promotion.
Hi I clicked on the $250 statement credit link and it does not work. It say the promotional is not offer or something. Does anyone know the website? Help would be helpful. Thank You
Just got my $250 credit – thanks for letting me know about it.
Awesome!
