    We got the Amex Charge Card a few months ago, with the nice points award

    Now we’ve reached the points target is it worth keeping the card?

    Should I keep it in case another offer comes along and get a referral bonus (is there usually one?) to get a new card in wife’s name?

    Decided to bite the bullet (even though no TCP money back which is rare).

    No Fee 1st Year + 25,000 referral for me and 40,000 for her with £3k spend in 3 months.

    65,000 points for spending £3k is pretty good.

    Ahhh, so it’s the Business Gold charge card that you have. You failed to mention which card it was in your initial post. So yes, worth keeping for the complete first year and rack them points up!

    … also worth keeping for the offers, even if you switch most spend to another card. I’m holding Plat and Gold business for exactly that reason; Plat will be scissored in a month or two though.
