We have seen better offers for the card, $250 bonus with waived fee and offers that mixed with cashback could be as high s $450. This is still a decent offer, but I would wait for something better, unless you really want to get the card now.

Mark,
Do you have an email address for the Blue support group to whom I can complain? Not sure my voice calls are reaching people who care.
Thanks
I don’t have anything outside of the normal channels unfortunately. Another option is to file a CFPB claim
https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/
That will usually get a response in a week or so. It hasn’t been as successful as in the past since CFPB has had some power taken from it but it is worth a try imo. Should only take 20 minutes or less to fill out.
I cancelled my Amex Platinum and picked up the Preferred Blue. I needed to do the application (or finish it) online. I’ve spent far more than the level required for the bonus ($20K in the last 3 months) – and paid $90 for the card.
After 3 calls to Amex, they’ve told me that I’m not getting the bonus.
I think I’ll max out the 6% on grocery and cancel the card. Can’t believe how pissed I am over $200.
I’ve been an Amex member since ’89 and they’re going to lose me over this.
They have been doing this more and more often – very annoying and bad business imo

I currently have a Blue Cash Everyday card for which I received a bonus four years ago when I applied for it. If I apply now for the Blue Cash Preferred will I still be eligible for this bonus, despite the fact that I have the Blue Cash Everyday version?
Yes they are separate products.
