Our Verdict

This is not as good as the recent 250,000 + $500 offer. But comparable/the same if you weren’t planning to do the airfare spend on that offer. This still has lifetime language so can’t do it again if you’ve already done this bonus. Please make sure to check your offer before applying as 250,000 isn’t showing most of the time. We won’t add this to our best credit card bonus page for now.

  • I have gotten the 250 to show up 3 times now, but each time I click it (logged out) it says the offer is no longer available. No problem with proceeding to the 200k application.

    Confirmed 8/6/25 someone applied, any data points of 8/7 or is this donezo?

  • Always 175k for 20k spend for me no matter what browser I use. :( I also keep getting the mailers but they seem to max out at 150k. Am I just unlucky here? I ain't applying until I see that 200k++ though.

  • I got 175k MR for $10k spend last year. I hope I can get something like that again for the tax season…

  • Got a mailer with this 250 offer yesterday. Addressee already has a BP (as well as a PP, a Gold Business, a BBP, and an original BCE). Still thinking. Expiration date is 9/17.

  • I'm going to assume this isn't likely, but will ask anyway: I'm halfway through my $20k spend for 150k points promotion that was targeted via a mailer at me - is there any chance AMEX would match the 250k? I've had success with Chase in the past but am assuming AMEX is not friendly to this, can anyone confirm?

    • Unlikely, AMEX does not match bonuses, even if the change was one day. The reps are very adamant that you signed up for a specific offer.
