I think even with a business card you can't refer another business.
In the email I got I have the option to refer to a personal or to a business card.

I received 5000 points X3 for refferals. one of them came up as "SPG AX MBR REFERRAL - CONSUMER" the other two came up as "SPG AX DEFAULT" why are they coming up different?
Were the other two referrals business cards?

Aha. Cause I have 5k points posted with this description and I did a business referral AND asked to get matched to the 30k offer. So I was wondering what this 5k is for.

The SPG personal was my first credit card, and I got approved for the business just a few months later without having to call reconsideration. I haven't had success with any Chase business cards yet. Seems to me that it's easier than Chase.

Anyone heard that you can't get a bonus from both the consumer and buiz? 4 months ago unopened both on the same day and I only got 25k for the buiz they say I can't get anything for consumer.   Any input?

+1

I had forgotten about that e-mail and opened a 25k biz without any links on 6/1 (days before the 30k promo - I had seen posts about the upcoming 30k just assumed amex had the same matching abilities as Chase - uch! Should have read this thread first). I just remembered it this morning, and tried getting the bonus to my wife's personal SPG from chat - they didn't give the 5k but gave her account 3k for goodwill. On an unrelated note I live chatted from my biz and the rep couldn't match me but gave me 3k also for goodwill.
