I just noticed that I now can earn up to 100,000 MR points based on referrals for new cards at 30,000 points per referral on my Gold card. My Platinum card says I earn 30,000 point per referral up to a maximum of 55,000 MR points per year. Why would I have different max points on each card?
I always assumed the limit applied to all cards combined. Now I am wondering . . . can I earn 100,000 points per year on referrals from my gold card and ALSO earn an additional 55,000 points for referrals from my Plat card?
Just want to make sure I am not leaving points behind each year that I could be earning.
Amex has recently begun rolling out extended annual referral caps to 100k or $1000. The earnings caps are per card that you refer (regardless of the card that the friend, family member, or business acquaintance ultimately applies for). I am showing 100k cap for Gold but still 55k for both personal and business Platinum Cards. (55k for BBP, peronal and business Delta Reserve, and peronal and business Marriott cards; no offer for Blue.)
- There is a limit to the amount of Referral Bonus rewards that can be earned across an eligible Card account; see your specific Referral Offer Terms for your annual limit. Each Card account is only eligible for up to the annual limit across all Cards on the account, including all eligible Additional Cards.
- The value of the Referral Bonus may be taxable income to the Basic Card Member on the account that earns a referral bonus.

Please consult your tax advisor if you have questions about the tax treatment of a Referral Bonus.
- If you have multiple Cards, please note that Offer Terms may vary by Card product.
