*** Limited time offer ***
Amex EveryDay 15000 MR points after $1000 in 3 months
The 15,000 MR points offer is still available via referral from someone who already has the card. See or ask for this in the discussion. Or look at the Amex referral page: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...posting-3.html.
These are the direct links on americanexpress.com. I have not scoured the internet to seek better offers. Note that both offers include this standard language:
Opening the application link in a Private or Incognito browser window, and not supplying any information about existing accounts, should prevent American Express from identifying you as currently having a card during the application process. They can still instantly determine this using your Social Security number, but in practice this may not occur.

**You can now do a product change from AMEX Blue to the regular fee free AMEX EveryDay card. Unsure about other AMEX products that you can change TO the EveryDay card** This would probably preclude you from receiving any sign-up bonus, but moving from the Blue to this card is a + for some.
Use this calculator to work out whether you're better off with the preferred or regular card.

You do not receive the Amazon Prime code until you make the required spend.

I just wanted to confirm if this is based on Calender year (and not membership year) in practice. Don't want to spend $6k on MS only to realize it doesn't reset. I used my $6k limit last calender year but my membership year is not up yet. The terms do mention calender year, but just wanted to make sure.

The card was introduced in March 2014. No one has any real experience with using the card in the new calendar year, aside from the last 8 days. If in doubt, why not make one small supermarket purchase, wait for the closing date, and see?

The only card in the EDS area that is by Membership Year is the Old Blue Cash AFAIK.

For those that have applied using the 30k cardmatch offer... I was wondering if this offer included Amazon Prime after making the MS?

AX Everyday Card do not endorse Amazon Prime
I applied for the card because the link I was applying said free Amazon prime +100 if I spend X dollars
I got the card called CSR they are saying they do not see that promotion in their screen
So what do you do?
I forgot which link I used to apply

What do you mean, +100? The offer is for a year of Amazon Prime + 10k MR pts.
