- Accounts reinstated on or after November 1st have all remained open as far as I can tell (versus those reinstated before that date which were quickly closed)<\/li>\n
- American Express will charge you $25 per card reinstated<\/li>\n
- Offers remain attached to your reinstated accounts<\/li>\n
- YMMV<\/a> on whether your points and cash-back are auto-reinstated<\/li>\n
- Not everyone is eligible for reinstatement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If I were shutdown and wanted to reopen cards with American Express, I\u2019d be very selective about which cards to reopen. I may not want to reopen a card that was sitting in a sock-drawer and only open because of a sign-up bonus or retention offer, for example.<\/p>\n
2.<\/strong> There are a few links for adding employee cards to your small business Green, Gold, or Platinum card, and while the offers vary, generally it looks something like 20,000 Membership Rewards for adding a new employee card and spending $4,000 in six months. You can do this with up to five employees for a total of 100,000 Membership Rewards points. You can check your offer here:<\/p>\n

A few notes:<\/p>\n
- \n
- You may be able to earn 100,000 points for each business card in your portfolio, just split them off into their own login<\/li>\n
- Sometimes it\u2019s helpful to have employees with names like yours, right junior?<\/em><\/li>\n
- You don\u2019t actually have to provide a SSN or date of birth for an employee card, and they arrive in the mail pre-activated, in the same way that Spirit\u2019s seats are pre-reclined<\/a><\/li>\n
- Always choose the no-annual fee green employee card, the offer will still work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
