Our Verdict

This offer was originally due to expire on February 1st and then this was extended until this new February 22nd date. Obviously a chance it will be extended again, but who knows for sure. I’d recommend reading our original post on this offer as that contains more details & analysis. If you’re considering applying for this card, make sure you read these things everybody should know about American Express first.

In case anyone is still wondering, you get the extra 1x MR at the following statement cycle closing. Example, for my March statement closing, I got the extra 1x on April statement closing:

04/09/2017 Earned Blue for Business-11001 Mar 2017 Statement 20,400

And that includes my dining spend in that period. (So the 2x points on $50k does include the $2k of dining spend, in case there was any doubt. So up to $2k dining is 1x + 9x immediately, an extra 1x on one month delay, and then the .3x on card anniversary.)

Anyone get 2x the points yet? I check my available MR points and it only shows up as Blue 1X MR Pts on all spd. I thought it was 2x o.O?

Got this for my wife a couple weeks ago, but I’m at the limit for Amex cards, so didn’t for myself Plus, $4k in restaurant spending over 6 months is pushing it. Maybe they will have a different category on their next round.

Applied today, went pending, called and they said it was cancelled because I had already applied for the Delta Business Gold Card and their system got confused. They pushed it through, but said I probably won’t get a response for 2-3 days. I wonder if this means I’m NOT getting the 10k 1x points offer now if it eventually goes through…
