*** 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.

I had 4 customer service reps the other night. It took that many for a rep in MR to assure me that even though I was only seeing 26 transactions for the 30 + bonus she could see all 31 of my transactions and said they were counting toward the billing cycle. My account closed yesterday and the bonus tracker is still showing last months transactions. And they are still under 30.
This is going to be a difficult system to track points earned.

Has anyone received their sign up bonus yet for this card? I have nothing, even from the spend, and my first statement closed 11/13

You should see it soon. It should have been pending between 11/13 and 12/13, assuming you met min spend already. Mine posted a few days after the second month's statement.

Yes. I have the Everyday card, and I have 22 transactions so far in my current billing cycle. All 22 show up in my transaction history, but my tracker says I have 8 transactions total. Weird.

50% bonus of $6,000 Groceries not showing yet
Signed up in mid Oct 2015. Received 30,000 points.
Before mid December statement closing date I did 30 plus purchases , including 6,000 in groceries. ( 3X ). 18,000 points just posted on January Statement , but no mention of 50% bonus. Does the extra 50% typically delay in posting.
Would rather not call, since this is DW's account, and chat and SM have become harder to do with Amex.

American Express "Everyday" Cards
As a recent EDP applicant I too had questions about the points posting as my "pending" points amount was only at the regular earnings ratio. Called AMEX and after a rep who had no clue I got a supervisor who confirmed that regular earnings posted in the month after the billing cycle BUT bonus points (for the 30 transaction bonus) would not post until ANOTHER billing cycle so essentially you have to wait 2 months for the bonus to post. Ridiculous!!!!

Does anyone know if Trader Joe's counts as a grocery store for Amex cards?

Hi,
Newbie question here. I have both amex gold and amex everday. Both the points are accumulated on one amex MR number. I plan to cancel amex gold. Will I loose the points made by amex gold? Also, could i have ability to transfer points to airlines later time after gold card cancellation? And will it be free or fee based if it is possible? Thanks

That's the principle selling point of the Amex EveryDay—fee free and earns transferrable points (not those pesky cash points). Chase, for example, would require a $99 AF for CSP or Ink+.

I've topped off my EDP 30 transactions with a few gift card reloads and amex doesn't seem to be counting it. They have the past few months. Anyone have any experience here?

Does it show up as pending next to the big segmented circle? If the transaction is listed under pending, it should show up as pending in the transaction tracker. If it's posted, it should definitely count in the circle. If not, contact Amex.
