EDIT information from Better.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
I work with Better,com and wanted to see if you could please add in the following information to your post on Amex/Better,com deal as it reads incorrect as it stands, especially regarding eligibility. We want to make sure the offer is stated as accurately as possible:
1) Mortgage rates of any specific customer, stated or otherwise, should not be taken as indicative of a mortgage rate available to all customers. Pricing is based on a number of factors, including the individual credit profile of a potential borrower.
2) The offer is only available to those borrowers who have been marketed to directly by American Express, and those who have not received the offer on their Amex portal or via email are not eligible.

I know there is lot of better offers that people have gotten but this was the best I was able to do and not sure if this can be improved now that I have already locked my rate.

Depending on the loan amount, you may save more money in the first year at a lower rate with another lender than to receive the $2500 AMEX credit. If better is charging you $610 in points, that credit is really only worth $1890 for a higher rate......
I am fine if they don't agree to match rates. However, better is very deceptive about it. I had 10+ calls from better, and an email from them about the rate match guarantee.
After I gave better.com three LE's from other lenders, they refused to match the rate, saying that it does not apply to the AMEX offer or rates that cannot be seen on a public website.
If you really want a $2500 credit, then go with better.com. If you have good or excellent credit, shop around and you will receive superior rates from other lenders.This can save you much more than $2500. https://usmortgagecalcu
What better is offering is no more than the mortgage equivalent of a cell phone promotion. You get a great rebate upfront.....only to pay more every month for the life of the contract.
Slickdealers - Don't be fooled. With a couple of hours of comparison shopping, you can get a better rate, and it will impact you for the next 15-30 years.
My buddy brought over a better LE from Owning. They said "we can't beat it by $1000 anymore, but we can match it exactly".
Case in point: I refinanced 2 months back at 3.125% at 15 year fixed and got $3000 credit (including the AMEX). I am thinking of refinancing at 3.75% at 15 year fixed to get $5000 credit. assuming that the rates are not going to change dramatically in the near future given the environment, refinance again at 2.75% or something like that and make this a money maker

Exactly. That is why I posted the same type of thing last night. If your credit is good you can get much better rates and it doesn't take a lot of time. Sounds like Better.com is pushing back on matching with the promo.

Better matched panther_fan's best offer. So they are not paying an extra $610 in points and getting a higher rate.They are getting "similar" points and rate, AND the $2,500.

Obviously people should calculate how upfront costs, long term savings, Amex credit all factor in. But many (most?) people here are getting identical or $1,000 savings by getting Better to match - in addition to the $2,500 Amex credit. In my case, I'm calculating as though the Amex credit doesn't exist. It's the icing on the cake. I am saving $1,000 by going to with Better, for the same rates and terms as the best I could find on the market. I am not giving up points or rates to get the Amex credit.
