*** 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.

Amex Everyday Preferred - Grocery/Gas Category
Has anyone else had problems with getting 3X/2X bonus points for Grocery/Gas purchases? I just got my first posting of points and a gas merchant with the "Category: Transportation - Fuel" (same as Chevron where they applied the bonuse) did not get 2X points. Similarly, Total Wine "Category: Merchandise & Supplies - Groceries" (same as another Grocery store that did get 3X points) were not given the bonus. I tried doing a chat with a rep who kept saying it's not the list. https://www.americanexpress.com/us/c...fo/retail.html But this was admittedly a non-exclusive list. It's not a lot of points but it seems like it's pretty arbitrary determination.
Any thoughts?

N/20 count inaccurate!
I'm used to the N/20 count (on the no-AF Everyday card) lagging a couple days, but it's now been more than half a week that my count has been stuck at 16/20 even though right below that it says I have 18 transactions, only one of which is a payment, and if I count those manually I also get a count of 17 purchases.
Just how long can they take to catch up? Or do they sometimes get "permanently" out of sync with the actual count of purchases?
Now, I'm not concerned for this month, because I have a week and a half left, and I'll go well beyond 20 "naturally". But I'm just mystified, because I've never seen it take quite so long to catch up before (or else I had activity back-to-back which made it too hard to tell when it caught up). (And there are other months when I'm traveling part of the month where I have little margin for Amex error.

I just maxed out my grocery spend for the year. When does it actually reset? On January 1, or during the statement that posts in January?
The statement closes on Jan. 7th, so trying to figure out when to start spending on the card again and if I should aim for 30 transactions this month or just use different cards.

The wiki link to the 15K offer for the Everyday card is dead. But it is still available via referral from someone who already has the card. I see no other way to get this. So, shall we allow posts here from people who will do this.

We do allow them, but only in this thread:

Has anyone observed that the Amex Offers attached to the Everyday card have featured few to virtually no offers with bonus MR points? Mine have all been cashback offers or discounts. Just wondering if this is specific to me (I know everyone sees different offers, but thought it might be the case across the card product). I took advantage of quite a few of the bonus MR offers in the last few months (but all organic spend), but at the beginning of the new year, when my old offers expired, there seems to be no new bonus MR offers.

Transaction Tracker Broken?
Any one else having issues with the transaction tracker? Mine (EDP) is showing zero since new statement date (June 22) and I have at least ten transactions ranging from $8.00 to $250.00.
