Our Verdict

Neither offer is worth considering as we have seen better offers on both cards. For example Blue Cash Everyday recently had an offer for up to $300 and also bonuses of up to $450. The $450 offers were $250 base bonus and then 5%/10% on specific categories, for example:

• 10% on restaurants up to $2,000 in purchases
• 10% on amazon up to $2,000 in purchases
• 5% on travel up to $4,000 in purchases
• 10% on wireless up to $2,000 in purchases

Because American Express is once per lifetime I’d recommend waiting for a better offer. If you have any questions about American Express cards they are most likely answered here.
