Just Got My First Ever Sign Up Bonus!!!

Anonymous — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 18:53:03 GMT

OMG!!! I just had to share! A little embarassed to say but I've had credit cards for years and up until a few months ago, I didn't even know what a sign up bonus was! Thanks to this forum, I'm officially reaping the rewards!!!

Applied for AMEX BCE on 10/3 using referral link so I got $200 for $1000 spend. Received card on 10/11. Went grocery shopping and then paid our insurance premiums (don't worry -- already paid it back). And just like that boom! The statement credit has already hit my account!

Congrats on your first bonus!! I didn't get one, or even know about them, until I was already in the cc game for 14 years

Haha I actually got my first credit card back in 2005. I tried to use the vague "for years" cloak so people wouldn't know how long its taken me to figure it out 😂

Congrats, but be careful, because they can be addictive! Haha...hence the need for a garden.

Once your first year is about to conclude you'll get an e-mail from Amex for an Upgrade Bonus which is usually the difference between a new account bonus and what you already got on the BCE.

These don't have lifetime language attached to them so, you can up/down grade somewhat frequently within reason and keep collecting them. I've done it a few times and collected at least $500 now on the BC line.

BBP is an entirely different line so, you can get that new bonus when you apply but, the BC series will be just upgrade bonuses when you're eligible for them.

Seriously?!?! I never knew that!!! Thank you so much. This forum is golden. So if I got the $200 SUB, would the offer be for $50 (current welcome: $250) or did I mess that up?
