You can get a nice rewards point bonus if you get a friend to successfully sign up for one of your issuer’s credit cards. Discover, for example, awards $50 cash back or 5,000 miles to cardholders who successfully persuade friends to get a card via Facebook, Twitter or email. American Express also hands out bonus points for referred friends, but the actual amount varies depending on what card they sign up and are approved for.
