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.

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

2Enrollment in a participating Frequent Flyer program is required. Airline tickets are subject to availability. For each conversion of points into the Frequent Flyer program of a U.S. airline, a fee of $0.0005 per point, with a maximum fee of $75, will be charged to your Card account. We charge this fee to offset the federal excise tax we must pay on such conversions. The fee may be more or less than the actual amount of the excise tax we pay on any individual conversion. We may offer you the option to redeem points to pay this fee.
