Quick Thoughts
This is an easy $50 in your pocket if you have the offer as it would be maxed out with $250 in spend and I imagine that most of us will spend $250 with a US wireless service provider between now and December 31, 2019.
The offer does not specify which wireless service providers qualify. I would expect the major carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Spring) would qualify. Would Google Fi, Cricket, Boost, Straight Talk, Visible, and other MVNOs qualify? I’m not positive, but I don’t see why not.
Keep in mind that Amex does not offer any cell phone protections, so if you rely on your credit card for cell phone insurance coverage, that’s something to consider.
Overall, this is a good deal that is worth syncing sooner rather that later.

Data point: It works with att prepaid.
Anyone tried buying hardware? Wondering if the “no hardware” term is enforced.
“Would Google Fi, Cricket, Boost, Straight Talk, Visible, and other MVNOs qualify? I’m not positive, but I don’t see why not.”
“Excludes purchases made with third parties, authorized retailers or re-sellers.”
I think GoogleFi, et al, are considered resellers, but I’m happy to be proven wrong.
I don’t think so. I think a re-seller is considered something like Radio Shack (obviously defunct now, but that’s the kind of thing I think it refers to — when some other retailer sells you the wireless services).
I understand what you’re saying (that the MVNOs are reselling bandwidth on others’ networks), but I don’t think that’s what resellers means in this context. I could be wrong.
Found it on Business platinum and BB+. Used on Verizon and got e-mail confirming offer used.
