You need to spend $1000 to get the $25,000 points that can be use for an airline ticket purchase.
No annual fee in your first year - a savings of $125
1 Upon the Basic Cardmember's first purchase, a one-time bonus of 5,000 points can be earned toward the Basic Business Gold Rewards Cardmember's Membership Rewards account. These bonus points will be credited to your Membership Rewards account 6 to 8 weeks after your first eligible purchase appears on your monthly billing statement. In addition, after you spend $1,000 on your Business Gold Rewards Card before October 31, 2008, 20,000 bonus points will appear on your monthly billing statement within 6-8 weeks. These bonuses will appear as separate credits of 5,000 and 20,000 bonus points. The maximum 25,000 bonus points are available to first-time Basic Business Gold Rewards Cardmembers only; they are not available if you transfer an existing account. The bonus 25,000 Membership Rewards points may be redeemed for one coach, domestic round-trip airline ticket. Taxes and fees are responsibility of the Cardmember.
Cardmembers transferring points to participating domestic airlines will be charged a fee of $.0005 per point, up to $75. This charge is to offset the excise taxes American Express currently pays to the government on such transactions. Applications must be received between 04/14/2008 and 7/31/08. The Bonus IDs for this offer are 9238 and 0903.
To be eligible to earn bonus points you must be enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program at the time of purchase and charge your purchases to an eligible, enrolled American Express® Business Gold Rewards Card. All purchases are eligible for the 25,000 Membership Rewards points EXCEPT: Returned purchases Fees Finance charges Cash advances Balance Transfers Purchase of American Express Travelers Cheques, American Express Gift Cheques, and other cash equivalents

Does anyone know which reporting agency these guys pull from? I have to pay off my 6 month BT in 3 weeks and when it reflects on my account I will probably take advantage of this offer, but if it is Experian they pull from I will probably be denied with 25 inquires even though half are about a year and half old.

It depends on where you live. Check out the credit pull database on creditboards to see what others have reported.
50,000 points = Two rountrip tickets (48 states), if I accepted the Platinum Personal Card, and make a purchase of any size. $450 annual fee.
I already have the Business Platinum Card, so this offer doesn't help me. It seems like a good deal if someone was already considering getting the Personal Platinum Card.
It appears to be a targeted offer (there's an R.S.V.P. # at the top). However, maybe you could get the same offer by calling and asking?
If anybody here got AMEX without an EX pull, please post your state and the name of the CRA that was pulled. I'm in Michigan, and it's been EX all the way for AMEX and Discover for me.

After you paid for the membership fee, can you get a partial refund when you cancel the card?
I don't know how you can get this special link. IF I go to AmericanExpress.com and find the business rewards card, I can't see this limited time offer.

If you end up paying the annual fee of 450, that is like paying for the second ticket and then some because of taxes and fees added on at your expense. Had any experience with getting them to waive this?
Here is the question? Does anyone know for sure without calling AMEX, if you have had this card before, that you qualify for the points again. The wording sounds like the answer is no.
