*** 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.

For me new ED, I can see on my card where it says my Pending Points.
Is there some way to see using the Amex site how many points per transaction I earned, and how the 20% multiplier factored in? Is there any sort of breakdown like Chase, which does it by transaction, or Citi, which does it by total bonus category? All I see right now in the Pending Points is that I got ~3.4K points from spend, and 25K from the 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.
I've been trying all day to figure how AE came up with my current accounting of points. Balance was $6,083.49. $2,383.38 was grocery. Every transaction on the statement was in the details for the 50% list of 46 transactions. If I take away the $95 annual fee I get base points of 5,988 which coincides with AE's calculation of 5,987. But for the 3X bonus AE only gives 3,756. I calculate 4,766. 1,010 pt. difference. Do you think they figured one of my grocery charges as a GC?

Question about the EDP/ED multipliers.
For Ubers, they offer an additional point per dollar, so 2X total. Say we have an EDP...does the swipe bonus take this into account? Or is the swipe bonus only on the 'native' point earning, which is nothing (i.e. 1x on taxi)?
In much simpler terms, for Uber with EDP swipe bonus, do you only get 2 points per dollar or 3 points per dollar?

I understand the $6k limit for 3x on the EDP is per calendar year, but does anyone know if it's $6k per Jan 1 - Dec 31, or if it's December 2014 statement date - December 2015 statement date (for example)?

Ever have online trouble seeing the expanded line for bonus details? I can see the expanded for the 50% but when I click on line for See Card Bonus Detail all I get is a strip 1/4" wide x 4". I can see that the lines scroll but the full page doesn't appear.

One month I earned 21,724 MR, 29 of which came from Uber 2x ($14.xx fare). Obviously I'm not a big Uberer
. Anyway, the next month the 50% bonus posted as 10,848. 50% of 21,724 is 10,862, so I actually got 14 points less than expected, and the only rational explanation for that is that I did not get the 50% for the 29 MR earned via Uber.

50% Extra Bonus Tracking Tool Problem
Does anyone else have a problem with the purchases tracking tool?
Mine is only showing pending purchases and 0 posted ones.

Perhaps there's some sort of computer glitch at the moment that's stopped them updating?

My billing cycle closed a week ago and the MR's from the previous statement haven't posted, plus the purchase tracker is still showing that I qualified last month but isn't showing progress towards this month.
Perhaps there's some sort of computer glitch at the moment that's stopped them updating?

Same problem here, and online chat has been, shall we say, less than helpful in trying to find out why the tracker is broken

I've been having the same problem since the beginning of the month. It seemed to start working again yesterday, but failed to account for a number of posted transactions. Made a couple of attempts to deal with customer service, by chat, Twitter, and then phone--got nowhere. The reps I reached failed to grasp the problem.

Still not fixed.
I'll try to call 1-800-528-4800 (tech support) next week if not fixed.

More disturbingly, I loaded Serve to trigger the minimum spend bonus (it usually works), but the points have yet to post to pending. I'm now wondering if it's a system-wide AMEX computer glitch, or did loading Serve stop counting. Anyone care to weigh in on this?
