Question about applying AMEX BCP

[seiyafan]

For BCP, there is a $150 cash back after spending $1,000 within the first 3 months of Cardmembership, but it also says Offer valid for first-time American Express Cardmembers only. So If I already have a BCE, then this offer won't apply right?

I was worried about that, too, because I already have an AMEX.  (I applied, was approved, and then saw here that I may not qualify.)  I called customer service the other day and the CSR said no, it looks like my account does have the bonus offer applied to it.  So if I meet the spending requirement, I should get the bonus.  I suppose we'll see...

BCP is my 3 rd Amex, and I received the cash bonus.

+1 i apped for Zync and Paltinum, not to say i was a AMEX member in 91 i got the BCP about 4 months later and got the bonus

Just to throw out an additional confirmation, I got Clear in February 2011 and applied for BCP in December. I, too, got the bonus.

Thanks! That's good news.

Is it possible to convert BCP to BCE to avoid the annual fee?

I took it to mean first time cardholders for that particular card.

I believe so but I'm not sure how long you have to wait to do that, if you even have to wait at all.
