American Express Blue Cash Everyday/Preferred Offers ($150/$250 signup bonus; YMMV)

I'm interested in the 6% back on groceries for gift cards as well, that would more than justify the 75 fee, curious.

i got the BCE card in snailmail and it came with the 250$ signup bonus

Quote from aznbadboixx : i got the BCE card in snailmail and it came with the 250$ signup bonus

how long ago was that?

Quote from AceNJ : I have this card (the non preferred) and rarely ever use it. The 6500+ spend to get any decent cashback is a joke. I wouldn't bother with this, just my 2 cents.

What do you mean ? You can get 3% back on grocery stores ( gift cards ) anytime, no anual fee ... can you find a beter deal then that ?
The 6000 limit is saying "after you spend $6000, you won't get 3% you get 1%, but before $6000 you get 3%"

Quote from Liquidus : Meaning that, if I currently have had the BCE for more than 90 days, I could close it, apply for the BCP, and get the bonus? Thanks.

Technically, the most restrictive interpretation of the rule is that the card has to be CLOSED for more than 90 days. Judging from some of the posts about the Plat card 75K offer a month ago, that's what some people have been getting... or not getting rather =/

Quote from TheOldinOut : Would be sweet if I can rack up gift cards at supermarkets for the 6%.

That used to be the point before the cap. After expenses, you could make ~5% CB cashing out via AP or Serve buying Visa GCs. When you ran into AP or Serve caps there you could make ~4.2% CB cashing out via Bluebird buying Visa GCs.

That and don't forget that fuel points (without multipliers) at certain stores stacked too. Personally I don't buy merchant GCs because even with 6% back, usually you can find that much of a discount at PJ or CP. If you stacked fuel points you could probably see more than 6% back esp with 4X fuelpoints promos at Kroger.

it's super market not grocery right?

What is PJ and CP ? Are you referring to Pajamas and Coconut Powder ?

No it's only grocery, so only at places that sell only grocery, no Walmart, Target, etc. It only works at Safeway, QFC, etc ...

Quote from ragingazn628 : Oh crap I accidentally used my SSN for https://www.creditcards.com/cardmatch - is that ok? What should I do now?

Your identity will be stolen now.

Just kidding. They have a Google pagerank of 6, I wouldn't worry about it.

Are you kidding... I just applied for the AMEX preferred card yesterday and they had normal 150 sign on bonus.. By using this link I am getting 250 sign on bonus... is there a way now I can get the 250 sign on bonus.... Should I call them and ask them for the 250 sign on bonus....

250 has annual fee of 75

Does anyone know for the Blue Cash Everyday when do you get your reward dollars( cashback ) ? Is it after each bill statement or every 1 year after signup. Also if you have $71 in rewards dollars, can you redeem all $71 for statement credit or is it only in $25 Increments ( $50 statement credit + $21 left over )? I know that they might have changed it recently, if someone with recent knowledge could respond.

Every billing cycle.

Increments of $25.

Quote from ragingazn628 : 250 has annual fee of 75

I know it has 75$ fees. What I am saying is that I applied for the preferred card day before yesterday and got approved for it and got only 150 $ as the sign on bonus... but now this new offer is for 250 sign on bonus... Is there any way I can get them to give me the 250$ sign on...?
