Earlier today, I was doing a regular checkup on the Amex links on our Best Offers page. I was pleasantly surprised when I clicked some of our links and saw better offers than the standard advertised signup bonuses on several cards. I was using the same browser I had used to log into my Amex account just a little while before checking our links. Each of the increased signup offers included the text, “Special Offer for You” — meaning that these signup bonuses are most likely targeted specifically to me. You may not have the same offers available to you — but if you’re interested in any of the following cards, it’s worth using your normal browser and checking the links to see if you get a better offer like I did. (Note that when I clicked the links from my phone, I did not see these increased signup offers. This is presumably because I have not logged into my Amex account on my phone’s internet browser, so I wasn’t seeing offers targeted to me.)
The targeted increased offers I saw today were the following:
Membership Rewards
Amex Everyday Preferred (standard offer is 15K after $2K spend in first 3 months)
Amex Everyday (standard offer is 10K after $1K spend in first 3 months)
Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express (standard offer is 25K after $2K spend in first 3 months)
Cash Back
Blue Cash Everyday (standard offer is $100 back after $1K spend in first 3 months) This offer has expired
Blue Cash Preferred (standard offer is $150 back after $1K in spend in first 3 months) This offer has expired
Bottom Line
While not everyone will be targeted, increased bonuses like these are always a nice surprise when they happen. If you’re looking for one of these cards, click the card name above to be taken to a Frequent Miler page with more information about the card and/or go to our Best Offers page to check and see if you have been targeted for any increased offers. For those curious, I did not see any increased offers on the Platinum cards — but please let us know if you see any additional offers on any card.
