Our Verdict
They have offered this same bonus before, personally I wouldn’t sign up for this card unless you get this offer as American Express card bonuses are once per lifetime. Better to be patient and wait for this offer than go for the standard $250 bonus or the targeted $300 offers. As always, you should familiarize yourself with these things you should know about American Express cards before applying.
