Two years ago, American Express made a very welcome change to the rules covering the sign-up bonuses on American Express Business Gold and American Express Business Platinum. However, if you have or had Business Gold or any other American Express business-focused card, eg British Airways American Express Accelerating Business, you CAN apply. Amex also changed eligibility rulesThis is the second major change to Business Platinum and Business Gold sign-ups this year. The benefits package was also tweakedWe’ve also seen tweaks to the Business Platinum and Business Gold long-term spend bonuses this year. What’s interesting is that the logical route to maximise your bonuses is now:get Business Goldtrigger the bonuscancelget Business Platinum.... rather than applying directly for Business Platinum!
