Amex referral bonus eligibility

Cropstar

I recently referred my wife to Amex and there is a £40 bonus cashback now showing in my account.

I read separately that you need to spend £3k/year to be eligible to receive any cashback. Is this also true of the £40 bonus; e.g. I need to spend £3k not to forfeit the bonus referral cashback?

You get your bonus simply by referring them and them being accepted. Any signup bonus they are entitled to will be dependent on their spend not yours.
