The Business Gold Rewards Card from American Express OPEN is one of the best credit cards on the market with 30,000 bonus Membership Rewards after spending $5k in three months, several lucrative category bonuses, and automatic 5-10% discounts from dozens of companies through American Express OPEN Savings.

A new category bonus has been added to the card.

If you apply for both the personal and business card today, you'll have 60k Starpoints after meeting the minimum spending requirement after meeting the minimum spending requirement of $5k per card in the first six months.

The 25,000 Starpoint bonus for opening the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express and spending $5k on the card in the first six months is one of my absolute favorite bonus offers.

Update: Several--if not all--of these offers have expired.

[Update at 1:05 PM ET: I successfully snagged the Harrah's Las Vegas package the second the sale opened at 1:00:00 ET.

As I expected, the packages went fast! All the packages seem to be getting the "Sorry, this inventory is already on hold message." If you really want one, keep refreshing.

Update 2/24/14: Offer is dead!

Last week, American Express (possibly accidentally) offered its Business Gold Rewards Card with a 75k Membership Rewards sign up bonus after only $5k in spending in the first three months.

That's pretty incredible because:

Usually the card has no sign up bonus.
It had been offering only 50k Membership Rewards after $5k in spending.
Normally when it offers 75k Membership Rewards, it does so for only one or two days and requires $10k in spending to unlock the bonus.

That deal died, but two Business Gold offers have risen in its stead.

Starwood Preferred Guest's Cash & Points redemptions are some of the best values in travel.

American Express Membership Rewards are valuable because of their ability to be transferred to dozens of partners. But they have a glaring weakness: they don't have a top-tier Star Alliance transfer partner--US Airways or United.

Membership Rewards can be transferred to Singapore, which is great because this is the only way to get into Singapore business or first class.

Membership Rewards can also be transferred to Aeroplan and ANA.

The 75k Membership Rewards bonus on the Business Gold Card from American Express Open is back until March 8 14 (according to the terms and conditions) if you can spend $10k in the next four months on the card according to Dan's Deals.

This is a great deal if you spend tons, or you manufacture tons of spend.

Several months ago, American Express had a very limited time offer of 70,000 bonus SkyMiles for signing up for the American Express Delta card. Delta miles aren't worth as much to me as miles from American, United, US Airways, Frontier, Southwest, Virgin America, or many other airlines, but 70,000 miles is a lot--especially since the normal bonus is 30,000 miles.

I jumped at the chance, and I was approved for the card.
