American Express Blue Cash Everyday

$200 cash back after $2,000 in eligible spend in the first 6 months — and with no annual fee, the whole bonus is yours to keep. It adds a 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months, plus ongoing 3% back at U.S. supermarkets, U.S. gas stations, and U.S. online retail (each up to $6,000/year). The bonus arrives as a statement credit, so it's straight cash value.

The deal

Spend $2,000 in eligible purchases on the new Card within the first 6 months of Card Membership

The walkthrough

  1. 01 Check the Amex pop-up for your exact offer before applying — the welcome bonus is once per lifetime per card.
  2. 02 Apply through American Express; no hard pull until you accept the offer shown.
  3. 03 Put everyday purchases — groceries, gas, online shopping — on the card to reach $2,000 within 6 months.
  4. 04 Let the spend post; Amex credits the $200 as a statement credit, typically 8–12 weeks after you qualify.

What to watch for

  • ! Amex's once-per-lifetime rule: past ownership of this card almost certainly blocks the bonus.
  • ! A higher $250–$300 offer appears only via CardMatch, referral, or a targeted mailing — it's not the public baseline.
  • ! The bonus is a statement credit (reduces a balance), not deposited cash.
Editorial note

Offers change frequently. BonusPrimer verifies every bonus monthly, but before you apply, confirm the current terms directly with the issuer. We are not a bank and do not decide approvals. Our methodology →
