American Express gives varying levels of sign-up bonuses on their cards so it can be a scavenger hunt to find the highest one.

How to find the highest offers with American Express


1) Check the website directly, maybe you'll be lucky.
2) If you already have American Express account, check your own account to see if you get an offer.
3) Check different referral links since they are different amounts as well.
4) Search for the offer on incognito, on different devices, and even on different Wi-Fi networks.
5) After opening the credit card page, let the website time out and then let American Express refresh the page for you.
6) An alternative is to look at the American Express x Resy page for their specific offers.
