The Offer
No direct link; call 855-531-3491, chose option 2, and ask for this offer (they can email you the offer)
- Some people are being offered a sign up bonus of $500 after $5,000 in spend on the American Express Blue Business Cash card.
This offer probably has the lifetime language which will make it only useful for those who never got the card before. Update: apparently, this offer might be a no-lifetime-language offer which works for anyone. Let us know if you try.
Card Details
- Card earns 2% cash back on all purchases for the first $50,000 in spend every year, then 1% cash back on all purchases
- No annual fee
- 0% introductory APR on purchases and balance transfers for 12 months
Our Verdict
We just posted about a YMMV $750 offer, yet this $500 offer is worth highlighting due to the lower spend requirement of $5,000. We’ve never seen a $500 offer on this card with such a low spend requirement. Some people might prefer taking $250 less and not having to spend the $15,000 from the other offer. Also useful for someone who can’t get the offer offer to pull up.
While on the the phone with 855-531-3491, you can ask them for the Business Platinum 250,000 offer and the Business Gold 190,000 offer.

Hat tip to reader Elliot
Got an email for $500/$6000, has the msr increased for anyone else?
not eligible for bonus or intro APR. Guess lifetime language still applies if you call in to get the offer.
Called in and they said that if your SSN (doesn’t matter which biz) has had this card before it’s not eligible.
Just called the number and was approved for the $500/$5000 offer as outlined. This is my first AmEx business card and third AmEx card overall. Thanks!
i was just about to call in to apply and then saw the mailer with a 75k points with 6k spending. not bad. thanks doc!
edit: my bad, the offer is for blue biz plus.
Is that bbp availablt via phone? Is it for everyone？
Called in to apply. Got $500/$5000 in 3 months
Same here. Instant approval with every bureau frozen. Mine definitely had the life-time language, which was fine by me because this is my first biz Amex.
You may not be eligible to receive the welcome offer, intro APRs, and intro plan fees if you have or have had this Card or previous versions of. You also may not be eligible to receive the welcome offer, intro APRs, and intro plan fees based on various factors, such as your history with credit card balance transfers, your history as an American Express Card Member, the number of credit cards that you have opened and closed and other factors. If you are not eligible for the welcome offer, intro APRs, and intro plan fees we will notify you prior to processing your application so you have the option to withdraw your application.
How many days did it take for the card to arrive? Did you try expediting?
This offer still came up no issues for me when calling in. Did mention the lifetime language on the call. They emailed me the application no issues. Also mentioned there was a huge Business Platinum offer available to me, which I’m not going for at the moment, but presumably it’s the 250k offer mentioned on the site. Unfortunately, got a pop up, so no luck for me on this one.
Regarding the Biz Plat, did you ask if there were any other offers available or they just mentioned it without any prompt?
I didn’t ask. They mentioned without any prompt.
Got $500 for $8000 spend in 3 months when I opened the link on incognito window.
What link?
Link to the offer
Open it up using incognito. Then, you can use the comparison tool to see offers from various cards. The offer changes occasionally. Just open up another window and try again until you find some satisfied offer.
Yeah I found it eventually but sadly got a popup.
$500 credited to account 5 days after spending $8000.
2% cash back is also great for a business credit card that doesn’t have any annual fees!
Had a mail offer of $250 + $250 cash back for $5k +$10k spend. 0% apr for first 12 months. Didn’t see lifetime language.
Just called in and got this emailed. Thanks Doc
After submitting got the popup, even though I’ve never had the Blue Business Cash before. Lame.
