The Offer
Direct Link to offer (go incognito)
American Express released a new signup bonus today on the Blue Cash Everyday card:
- Earn $250 back after you spend $2,000 in purchases on your new Card within the first 6 months of Card Membership. You will receive the $250 back in the form of a statement credit.
- Update: There’s another offer currently available for $200 + up to $150 in Dining credits. Details here.
The press release from today mentions a $200 signup bonus, but I’m seeing $250 incognito.
Card Details
- No annual fee
- 3% cash back at U.S. Supermarkets, Gas Stations, and Online Retailers (on up to $6,000 per year in purchases for each category, then 1%)
- 1% back on other purchases
- No redemption minimum on cash back earned
- Receive up to $15 per month in statement credits from Home Chef meal delivery. Enrollment required.
- Receive $7 back each month (up to $84 back annually) after spending $13.99 or more each month on an eligible subscription to The Disney Bundle which includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ using your Card. Enrollment required.
- Low intro APR: 0% for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers, then a variable rate
Our Verdict
The card got a refresh today with new benefits; at the same time they increased the bonus to $250. We have seen bigger bonuses for the Blue Cash Everyday, often those weren’t showing for everyone or they had more complicated structures. This offer also gives a long 6 months to accomplish the spend requirement. We’ll add this to our List of Best Credit Card Signup Bonuses.
You might do better applying for the Blue Cash Preferred $400 signup bonus and swallowing the $95 annual fee. You’ll end up with an extra $55 bonus that way, and you can eventually downgrade the card to become a Blue Cash Everyday.
Still, the $250 signup offer can make sense if it’s what you can pull up via referral link in 2-player mode or if you want to immediately take advantage of the Disney and Home Chef credit.
