Update 10/12/21: More people targeted, no e-mail this time but showing up when logged in.
Update 4/11/21: Another e-mail has gone out. Good through 4/30/21. Subject line is ‘There’s only a short time left to request an upgrade. Earn 40,000 Membership Rewards® points with this limited time offer’
Update 2/28/21: Huge wave of people targeted via email for a terrific upgrade from Everyday to Everyday Preferred – this time the bonus is even higher: get 40,000 Membership Rewards points when you spend $2,000 within 3 months. Offer valid through April 1. Annual fee not waived.

The Offer
- American Express is offering some AmEx EveryDay cardholders a bonus of 25,000 points when they upgrade to the EveryDay Preferred and spend $2,500 within the first three months (mixed datapoints of this is being six months currently)
- Some people have a lower minimum spend requirement of $2,000
Our Verdict
EveryDay preferred has a $95 annual fee that you need to pay. If you’ve had the Preferred card before you can still get this upgrade bonus, if you haven’t had it before then doing this upgrade offer means you won’t be eligible for future sign up bonuses on this card. For more information regarding upgrade offers I’d recommend reading this post.
