Amex Blue Cash Preferred, Up to $400 Bonus with Waived Annual Fee [YMMV]

Amex Blue Cash Preferred $400 Bonus

The Amex Blue Cash Preferred Card has a new bonus that comes with the annual fee waived for the first year. You can also earn up to $400 when you apply and are approved for the card. Let’s see how this offer works and how you can check if you are eligible.

The Offer

Earn Up to $400 Back:

• Earn 20% back on Amazon.com purchases on the Card within the first 6 months of Card Membership, up to $200 back.
• Plus, earn $200 back after you spend $1,000 in purchases on the Card within the first 6 months of Card Membership. You will receive cash back in the form of statement credits.
• 0% intro APR on purchases for 15 months from the date of account opening, then a variable APR.

This improved offer is now showing up for everyone. But you can check through the public link or referral links to see if if shows up for you. Try a clean browser window if you don’t see it right away.

Benefits

• 6% Cash Back at U.S. supermarkets (on up to $6,000 in purchases then 1%)
• 6% Cash Back on select U.S. streaming subscriptions
• 3% Cash Back at U.S. gas stations
• 3% Cash Back on transit, including parking, tolls, trains and rideshares
• 1% Cash Back on other purchases (Cash Back is earned in the form of Reward Dollars that can be redeemed for a statement credit)

Conclusion

The Amex Blue Cash Preferred Card now has two new bonus categories. You earn 6% Cash Back on streaming subscriptions and 3% cash back on transit, including parking, tolls, trains and rideshares. That’s in addition to the 6% cash back on $6,000 in purchases annually at U.S. supermarkets.

The $400 bonus is one of the best we have seen, but it requires you to complete $1,000 in Amazon purchases, plus another $1,000 everywhere else. The annual fee is also waived the first year, which saves you $95.

The offer is available through referrals as well, so check those links first as that is the best way to go about applying. If you use a referral link, the person referring you also earns a bonus, which can be as high as 30K Membership Rewards points in some cases.
