*** 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.

Everyday (Groceries 2X, General 1X; 20% bonus for 20 transactions in a billing cycle): - LINK
**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.

davie355 mentioned drugstores (and there are other cards with that as a bonus category) and Amazon (while I'm not sure how many cards have this as a regular category, either it specifically or online purchases seems to be a common rotating category).

Does paying with Apple Pay still retain the bonus? Or is it like PayPal where you are actually paying PayPal and they pay the company?

EDP best offers?
What are typical good targeted offers for the EDP? I'm not targeted but just curious what's better than the 15K public offer.
Is there some incognito link that may work? Just like the PRG 50K one is supposedly targeted but using a particular URL in incognito mode can show the bonus? How was that URL discovered anyway?

Amex EDP swipe bonus and point posting
Hi
So I've read that the EDP Swipe bonus takes a long time to post...maybe TWO statements after the fact instead of just one (for the standard points).
My question is that:
A) Besides all of this, basic question: can you see how many MR points are earned per transaction?
B) If yes, do the pending points for the swipe bonus say from which transaction they came from? In case I want to verify the 50% bonus?

- Login to americanexpress.com
- Click: Available Points (just to the right of the MR balance)
- Click: Activity Detail tab
- Click: [+] to expand an entry
- Click: See Card Bonus Detail
Pending points can be seen on the Summary tab, but this view is not available while the points are pending, you need to wait until they have posted.

Hi all,
Was just chatting with an online CSR and asked whether there was a bonus for upgrading from the EveryDay to the EveryDay preferred. She said that there wasn't a bonus that I'm eligible for.
I then asked whether there actually are bonuses out there for upgrading from ED to EDP, and she said that yes there are and I should probably wait for an invitation code before I make the switch.
Do any FT users have any knowledge or experience with an upgrade bonus from ED to EDP?
Thanks.

But furthermore, the Business Gold is a charge card, and the Everyday no-AF card is a credit card. I don't think they can convert charge cards to credit cards anyway, only charge cards to other charge cards, and credit cards to other credit cards.
So you might as well apply for the Everyday "from scratch" and get the 10k signup bonus, and then cancel the Gold (after you make sure your Membership Rewards account is linked between those two cards).

I had an old Blue card that I hadn't used in a while. I'd recently been planning to apply for the Everyday card in order to a) get the 10K bonus points, and b) make my points "full" MR points (the Blue card earns MR points but they are "express" points that can't be transferred). Just received a notice that my Blue card has been converted to the Everyday, "as our way of saying thank you". Now that I have the Everyday, I'm ineligible for the new member bonus. To be clear, I didn't request this conversion.
All in all, this conversion is an upgrade, but I'm a little miffed that I missed out on the chance to apply for the Everyday and receive the 10K bonus. I just tried the online chat to see if they could extend the bonus offer, but all I got was a stock non-answer, so he opened a "case" and forwarded my question to marketing.
Anyone else experienced this? Any tips?
