Some people are finding that they are targeted fir an offer of up to $400 back on the Amex Blue Cash Preferred Card split up as a $200 statement credit after $3K in purchases in the first 6 months and 20% back on purchases at Amazon.com for the first six months (up to $200 back). That means you could get up to $400 back, which is a very good return on the required spend.
Note that the current public offer on this card is for a $150 statement credit after $3K in purchases in the first six months. However, when I was checking links on our best offers page today after seeing a report from Danny the Deal Guru at Miles to Memories, I decided to test our link out in a few windows.
Sure enough, I saw the above offer for the increased statement credit when clicking through. It is a targeted offer, so not everyone will see it, but it’s always worth checking to see what is available. Considering the fact that you could earn the entire bonus with just $3K spend (assuming $1K in purchases at Amazon.com), this is a great return on spend on the Blue Cash Preferred. Unfortunately, it isn’t quite as good as the recently-expired offer that included the home furnishings credit, but this is the a solid offer for those who missed that. Considering the usual bonus categories on this card are plenty useful and the annual fee is waived the first year (then $95), this is a very solid offer for those who prefer cash back. Here are the key card details (note that clicking through here will bring you to our dedicated card page, which notes the current public offer, though when I clicked through, I saw the increased targeted offer above).
