The name of the game is to accumulate lots of points quickly to allow one to take several flights to exotic destinations.
So how do you do this?
One way is to use a referral link from a friend or a family member.
For e.g. if you apply for the Amex Platinum card from the website you can only earn a Welcome Bonus of 50,000 Membership Rewards points.
But if you use my referral link, you can earn 60,000 bonus Membership Rewards points through the referral offer.
Simple as that!! An additional 10,000 points for you.
Disclaimer: I may be paid a referral bonus by American Express if you use my referral link and support my blog.
