American Express has launched a series of limited-time offers, which sees the return of the ‘Invite a Friend’ offer with boosted Membership Reward points, Avios and cashback offers across 11 eligible American Express® Cards for a limited time. In addition, the first-year annual fee will also be waived on the Amex® Cashback Card for new Cardmembers.

‘Invite a Friend’ offer

American Express has launched an enhanced ‘Invite a Friend’ offer across all eligible cards when existing Cardmembers successfully refer a friend for any eligible card. Running from 28 May until 15 July 2025, a range of offers are available across all eligible Cards including the Platinum Card®, American Express® Preferred Rewards Gold Card, American Express® Rewards Credit Card and Cashback Cards, giving both the existing Cardmember and new Cardmember the chance to earn boosted points or cashback.

For example, an existing American Express® Preferred Rewards Gold Card1 member who invites a friend can earn an increased bonus of 18,000 Membership Rewards points per successful referral*, double the amount of the standard 9,000 points. The invited friend will also receive 35,000 points if they spend £3,000 in the first three months of Card membership.

Gold Cardmembers receive four Priority Pass lounge passes each year, £120 in Deliveroo statement credits a year, and enhanced points-earning opportunities (including 2x points for every £1 spent directly with airlines or in a foreign currency).

Existing Platinum Card 2 members who successfully invite a friend can earn an increased bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards points, an increase from the standard 12,000 Membership Rewards points on offer.

The invited friend could also receive 80,000 points if they spend £6,000 in the first three months of Card membership. Platinum Cardmembers can make the most of other benefits, including the £400 Global Dining Credit to spend at selected restaurants, and exclusive hotel benefits around the world with Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection. This is on top of travel insurance for the Cardmember and their family, airport lounge access, and more. The Platinum Card® comes with an annual fee of £650.

Referrals can be made via existing Cardmember’s Amex® App or on the website, where Cardmembers will find their unique referral link. Eligible Cards include the Amex Gold Card, The Platinum Card®, Amex® Cashback, Amex® Cashback Everyday and the BA Classic Card. T&C’s apply.

The new Cardmember could also receive 40,000 points if they spend £3,000 in the first 3 months of Card membership.

Additionally, existing Amex Business Platinum Cardmembers could increase their Membership Reward Points from 18,000 to 35,000 for each successful referral*, with the invited business owner eligible to receive up to 80,000 points if they spend £6,000 in the first three months of Card membership.
