I've been bugging my mother over the past couple weeks to use my referral link and get an Amex card. She didn't need one at all but I knew her credit scores are all over 800 and her income would support an instant approval across the board. She finally caved this morning and was approved for the Blue Cash Everyday with a 10k 25k starting limit! She received the elevated $225 back after $1,000 SUB as well.
Big win for me too, my Amex Gold referral link will be giving me 20,000 MR points! Makes me feel better about only getting the 35k sub when I applied for Gold.
Edit: the 10k limit was her temporary limit, per the cardmember agreement she was approved for $25,000!
Grats to your mom 
Congratulations on DM approval and your MR points!
Congrats to your Mum!!!
Congrats to both of you!
Just an update, apparently the 10k limit was just her temporary limit. Per the cardmember agreement, she was approved for $25,000 at 13.99%!

Fantastic. That is a great starting limit.
