The Offer
American Express released a new signup bonus today on the Blue Cash Everyday card:

This offer is via the Resy platform, but the Dining credit is for any restaurant worldwide, not tied to using Resy.

Our Verdict
Nice offer. The card got a refresh today with new benefits; at the same time they’ve released this Resy bonus for $200 + $150. I believe the 10% will be on top of the standard 1% earn for a total 11% back. The standard non-Resy offer currently stands at $250. We’ll add this to our List of Best Credit Card Signup Bonuses.
Hat tip to reader Ryan
Does Amex give you a virtual card right away after approval or does one need to wait for the physical card to make any purchase ?
i applied and had my virtual card available right away
online retail means reloading food app balances doesn’t count, right?
I have a Blue Business plus card if i apply for a personal card with amex will it be a soft pull ?
i have other amex personal cards and my blue cash was a soft pull – not sure about biz
3% Online Retail is nice; it makes this card a good competitor to the BofA Red for someone without Preferred Rewards and more competitive against the SavorOne. Hopefully they bring a limited 6% Online Shopping to the BCP.
Did they change anything with the Amex Blue Cash rewards system? I had gas (2%) and Microsoft (3%) charges on the last statement that just closed a week or so ago. However, my rewards total doesn’t reflect rewards earned on these transactions? Is there a delay? Does it usually take a couple of cycles for it to show up? Thanks
I want to say that Amex has always had a one-cycle delay before Rewards Dollars become available for use, but it’s been a while. Perhaps someone else can comment.
I was able to PC my old Blue card into this. For years the only PC option was Everyday and later Cash Magnet. Very happy.
What does it mean to “PC my old Blue card into this”?
PC = product change
He had an old Blue card that he converted/switched over to this BCE
Nice enhancements for those focused on no fee cards: No min redemption and the $6k cap for each category separately.
