AMEX EveryDay Ever Increase Signup Bonus?

[Repairman]

I know when applying for the AMEX Everday card, they are currently offering 10,000 Membership Reward Points as a signup bonus, but does AMEX ever increase the amount of Signup bonus points for this card?

Has it ever been higher? And if so, to what frequency?

I'm considering applying for this card as my next AMEX, but am in no rush, and obviously want to get the best bonus reward I can.

Yup. Theres an offer for 25k MR points after 2k spend in 90 days.  Have seen this offer as a online targeted, but moreso after a person checks online for prequal often and let the competitive mailers come in.

We are talking a trivial amount of MR though.

Better to look at how much you can spend in 90 days.  Better to go for ED and 1 charge card (either PRG or Platinum)

If you only have 2k to spend in 90 days, go for the ED and PRG, if you can spend 4k, then get the ed and the Platinum.

This month, when I was doing my monthly check of prequals, Amex offered me 15K points for the Everyday. That 25K offer sounds awesome though.

Could someone get Platinum or PRG and downgrade to a lower AF charge card? Is that something people do?

oh ya, the green is 95 a month.  Or you could just close it too.... funny thing is, the green and platinum both earn the same number of MR points in terms of spending.

you are right I Forgot to mention 15k offer. Its after 1k spend in 90 days, more common than the 25k offer.

I'm tellin ya folks, if you want better APR with citi check prequal often and let the mailers come. And for amex, excluding the PRG/Plat offer, if you want the better signup bonus for BCE ($250) or ED, check for prequal and let the mailers come rolling in....

Thanks for the heads up. I love the benefits of the PRG, but really not looking to pay the AF. I have an AMEX SPG that I'm paying a $95/yr AF for and an Optima that I'm paying $49/yr for (which I plan to cancel once I get my next AMEX). The no AF is why I was interested in the ED. I had an AMEX Gold card for years, and for the 1st time am exploring alternatives. Do you think the fee is worth it? I wouldn't use the card exclusively... Only for the bonus categories of restaurants and supermarkets, and very rarely, maybe for flights.

If you close it, what happens to your points?

Thats why I was saying earlier to get the ED along with it as a no AF place to park MR points. Or just transfer all your MR points...

As far as justifying the AF... well lets see, after the 50k bonus and $200 in airline gift cards, maybe, why would a person want to continue on paying $95 a year for the green card that earns the same 1 point per dollar like the platinum, when you could basically rationalize it as $195-$100 a year?

If you have delta near you the 2 MR points per dollar on gas and restaurants are nice, you can get over 2 cents a point in return depending on how you travel:

Airline transfer partners:
Star Alliance: Air Canada Aeroplan, Singapore, All Nippon Airlines
Oneworld: British Airways, Iberia
Skyteam: Delta, Air France/KLM Flying Blue, Alitalia, Aeromexico
Other: Airtran, Virgin America, Virgin Atlantic, El Al, Frontier, JetBlue, Hawaiian
