The answer you have been seeking is:

4. On the "Distinct Benefits and Services" screen click  the "See all benefits" tab

5. On the next screen under the "Cash Rewards" drop down menu you will find your hard worked for "Refer A Friend and You can get $75" option.

Good up until step 3. Takes me straight to the benefits of my Clear card. There is a dropdown box in the top right corner that says "Find Another Card" however Blue Cash Preferred is not listed, and is probably the only current card that does not make an appearance in that list. BCE is there, as is the regular BC card. There are no card images shown.

Re: AMEX BCP Referral Program Problem/Question

Based on my previous post, I decided to un-register my BCP from my online account.  I created a new online username and associated my BCP with it. I attempted to go through CreditMuppet's steps, but upon clicking "Card Benefits" I'm just stuck in an endless login loop.  Nothing useful there.  Now, logged in under the new online account, when I follow the prescribed process of typing "refer" into the search box and following the provided link from the search results, I once again get the message about my card not being eligible to participate. Hmmf.

On step 3 there should be a mini image of your other card(s) on the top left next to the picture of your clear card (in my case the PR gold).  In my case next to the picture of my Premier Rewards Gold card, there is a small image of my Blue Cash Preferred, which when clicked will load the benefits for that card, I`m not referring to that drop down you mention, look <-------------- and down a little Smiley Happy

 

Of course depending on what products you have the page could be built differently given these are dynamic websites.

I'm sure that's how it *should* work, but that's not how it *is* working. Smiley Happy

Works everytime for me, you will need to make sure all your products are under the same account for my instructions to work (one login)

 

There are other links to this refer a friend program (ie via "blue rewards program" under the rewards summary page) but those other links, although not very clear are actually for OPEN business cardmembers and look to be incorrectly linked to me, in that case you will get an error stating that your account is not eligable.

Try also going in to your browser settings, clear your browser cookies, close the browser and try again.  The AMEX site is nortorious for relying on cookies!

 

Edit: Dont use the 'search for refer' method for doing this, it will take you to the refer a friend version for OPEN business cardmembers and hence the 'not eligable' error

Re: AMEX BCP Referral Program Problem/Question

The only way I can get it to work is via the direct link I posted earlier in this thread.  How anyone is supposed to ever figure this out on their own is beyond me!

Re: AMEX BCP Referral Program Problem/Question

As a further update, sometime today a "Refer a Friend" link appeared on the left-hand side of the "View All Personal Cards" page while logged in to the AMEX web site. When clicking this, it does give me the option of referring either Zync or Blue Cash Preferred. Interestingly, if I click the "Refer Friends and Earn Rewards" link just above it and to the right, the only option I have is Zync.  Oh well, it's a start! Smiley Happy
