Three weeks ago, I wrote How to See if You’re Targeted for the 50k Bonus Point Sign Up on the Premier Rewards Gold Card through CARDMATCH.
The targeted sign up bonus is an extremely exciting offer because it adds a headline figure of a 50,000 point sign up bonus to the Premier Rewards Gold Card, which always has one of the best earning structures of any card:
- 3X points for flights booked with airlines
- 2X points at US gas stations and US supermarkets
- 1X points on other purchases
- 15,000 bonus Membership Rewards in any calendar year in which you spend $30k on the card
But most folks told me that they weren’t being targeted for the card when they entered their info at CARDMATCH.
That seems to be changing. More people have been emailing me to report that they were targeted at CARDMATCH lately for the 50,000 bonus point offer on the Premier Rewards Gold Card. So if you wanted the 50k point offer three weeks ago and weren’t offered it, it may be worth typing your info into CARDMATCH again. (No guarantees of course.)

Should You Apply?
I love the CARDMATCH offer. Even at the 25k point bonus, I think it’s a card worth getting for the category bonuses. With this 50k point offer, it is one of my favorite personal card offers on the market.
Membership Rewards have some awesome transfer partners. My favorites:
- Singapore to book Singapore Suites Class
- Flying Blue (Air France) for 25k mile roundtrip awards to Europe
- ANA for its distance-based chart’s sweet spots like 63,000 miles for roundtrip business class from the Newark to London
- British Airways Avios for its distance-based chart’s sweet spots like 12,500 miles to Hawaii from the west coast
- Delta for Virgin Atlantic Upper Class without fuel surcharges
- Virgin Atlantic for 13k mile awards to London
- Hawaiian for incredible award space to Hawaii, Asia, and Australia
- Aeroplan to get two stopovers plus one destination per roundtrip award

No Dice! Denied yet again.
Nothing, again.
Can you please include Avianca Lifemiles under TOPICS on the side, as a quick reference if needed. I can not find your reference concerning Lifemiles 100% bonus offer and discussion.
Thanks as always for the informative site you are running!
It’s under TACA.
I applied for the 50k card Sunday pm, and was instantly approved, They overnighted the card and I received it Tuesday morning around 9:30, Pacific time. If this kind of service is indicative of other services from Amex, I’ll be a really happy camper. The only possible downside is they say 2X gas stations don’t include warehouse gas, which MAY include Costco, my standard .
no dice for me either
