Our Verdict

I can’t get it to show for me, but it’s working for some. You can also try these tips for getting Amex increased offers to show, although those didn’t work for me today either. As noted in the previous post, Amex is also offering $100 referral bonus on both BCP and BCE. If you have a spouse to refer you, the standard offer is the same as this special incognito offer for BCP ($250+$200 vs $150+$200+$100). You can’t get the referral credit on the incognito offer.

American Express are rotating what you earn 10% (or sometimes 5%) in for that extra $200. Previous offers have been as follows:

• 10% on amazon up to $2,000 in purchases
• 5% on travel up to $4,000 in purchases
• 10% on wireless up to $2,000 in purchases

Make sure you read through these things everybody should know about American Express before applying. There is also the same offer on the Blue Cash Everyday card as well.
