You get 150,000 for spending $15,000 in three months, and another 10,000 for adding an employee card and spending $1,000 on that card. As of this writing, the offer is currently a \u201cno-lifetime language (NLL)\u201d card, meaning that having other Business Platinum cards in the past or present shouldn\u2019t disqualify you from this offer. Tips: Employee cards come pre-activated for 60 days even without providing an SSN. Also, American Express is happy to give you employee cards as <em>Your Name I<\/em>, <em>Your Name II<\/em>, <em>Your Name III<\/em>, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still at my charge card limit with American Express so I can\u2019t currently go for this, but I would if I could in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.americanexpress.com\/en-us\/campaigns\/small-business\/credit-cards\/business-gold\/apply-now\/\">Check here for an American Express Business Gold offer<\/a> for 90,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $10,000 in three months. This one is also a NLL card.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d also go for this if I could just like the one above, especially because Business Gold cards often get a targeted upgrade offer to a Business Platinum for up to 85,000 additional Membership Rewards points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Finally, there\u2019s <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/global.americanexpress.com\/offers\/eligible\">an offer for $30 back from Turo after spending $150<\/a> on many American Express cards. (Turo is like airbnb, but for cars.)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve rented a <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/\">Turo<\/a> car before when regular car rental prices were sky-high and it turned out <em>ok<\/em>. I had to wait in the airport parking lot for 15 minutes for the owner to arrive, I got a different car than I booked (though materially similar), the guy renting to me was slightly sketchy, and the radio would play a strange female voice whenever a notification came in on my phone, but I saved $300 or so and in the end it was fine. Based on that singular experience I\u2019d rather rent with a real, non-Fox rental car company but with the current <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/travel\/2021\/07\/16\/rental-car-shortage-prices\/\">carpocalpyse<\/a> Turo may still be the best option.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2314\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/turo.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/turo.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/turo-300x168.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/turo-768x431.jpeg 768w\" width=\"420\"\/><figcaption>My Turo rental car.
