Our Verdict
This is the best offer we’ve seen for BGR. More often this targeted offer comes with a 10k spend requirement, but it has been around before with the lower 5k spend requirement.
Even better is that this offer doesn’t show the infamous Amex lifetime limit, and it should be possible to get the bonus even if you’ve gotten it previously.
Being that the annual fee is waived the first year, it’s well worth considering applying for the card if you get the offer. Check out the post 19 Things Everybody Should Know About American Express before applying.
