We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    Update:   One or more card offers in this post are no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers. 

    Folks who do lots of holiday shopping at Amazon might like the improved offers for the AMEX Blue Cash Everyday and AMEX Blue Cash Preferred cards!

    You can now earn up to $300 back with the AMEX Blue Cash Everyday card and $350 back with the AMEX Blue Cash Preferred card after meeting minimum spending requirements.

    But to earn the full bonus on either card, part of the spending requirement must be $2,000 in Amazon purchases within the first 6 months of opening your account.

    Earn 10% Back on up to $2,000 in Amazon Purchases With New Offers From the AMEX Blue Cash Everyday and Blue Cash Everyday Preferred Cards

    I’ll share more about these new offers and help you decide whether you should sign-up!

    AMEX Blue Cash Everyday

    Link:   Blue Cash Everyday Card From American Express

    The AMEX Blue Cash Everyday card is offering a $100 statement credit after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening.  This is the same as the standard offer.

    But now, you can earn up to an additional $200 back by getting 10% back on the first $2,000 in Amazon purchases made with your card in the first 6 months of account opening.  For a total of up to $300 back ($100 + $200).

    This card has no annual fee.  But it isn’t a good card to use abroad because it adds foreign transaction fees.

    AMEX Blue Cash Preferred

    Link:   Blue Cash Preferred Card from American Express

    The AMEX Blue Cash Preferred card has a similar deal, but you’ll earn a slightly higher sign-up bonus of $150 back after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening.

    The bonus for Amazon purchases is the same.  You can earn up to $200 back by getting 10% back on the first $2,000 in Amazon purchases made on the card in the first 6 months of opening your account.  For a total bonus of up to $350 ($150 + $200) in statement credits.

    The $95 annual fee is NOT waived the first year and the card adds foreign transaction fees.

    Should You Apply?

    It depends.  These cards could be good for folks who will spend a lot on Amazon purchases to earn the additional bonus.  And the bonus on supermarket spending can also help folks earn ongoing rewards!

    And because these are AMEX cards, you’ll be eligible for discounts through AMEX Offers.

    Earning 6% Back at Supermarkets Can Really Add Up!

    But if you’re just starting out, it’s better to apply for Chase cards first.  Because with Chase’s tougher approval rules, if you’ve opened more than ~5 credit cards (excluding these business cards) within the past 24 months from ANY bank, it’s likely you will NOT be approved for most Chase cards.

    And Chase has fantastic miles & points cards, like the Chase Sapphire Reserve and upcoming Chase Ink Preferred.

    Bottom Line

    For folks who spend a lot on Amazon purchases, there are better offers for the AMEX Blue Cash Preferred and Blue Cash Everyday cards.

    You can earn up to $350 back with the AMEX Blue Cash Preferred and up to $300 back with AMEX Blue Cash Everyday card.

    But to earn the full bonus, you’ll have to meet the minimum spending requirements AND spend $2,000 on Amazon purchases within the first 6 months of account opening.

    Don’t forget, American Express limits folks to one sign-up bonus per lifetime, per card.  So if you’ve had either of these cards before, you can’t earn the bonus again.

    But keep in mind, there are plenty of other cards with higher sign-up bonuses!
