Chatted with a rep today and confirmed that my card has the BCP offer for the $250 cash back in the form of an account credit. Originally I was not sure if I had the $150 or $250 offer, but pleased to confirm it is the $250 cash back offer if $1,000 is spent in the 1st 92 days of card ownership.
Love Amex and also love my BCP! It's getting lots of mileage for grocery purchases right now at 6% cash back.
Having that $250 credit is essentially like having almost 4 years with no annual fees on this card - that's almost what it adds up to. Woohoo!

fixedronin, I applied in September 2015 and was turned down twice in Recon! Wrote a personal letter which was denied even in recon - then magically 2 months later (November), I received an approval e-mail! It was a surprise to me because I had already moved on since they had denied my recon.
The BCE is a different card but it doesn't hurt to ask if you have any offers on the card of which you may be unaware. Mine was a signup offer.
As of yesterday the $250 offer is also reported to be showing up for somone else on the board, who says he went into the application incognito on his browser. Hope this helps someone.
BCP is the best card ever! 3% cash back on department store purchases, too.
I don't bother to use the 3% cash back for gas, though, as my Sam's Mastercard gives me 5% cash back for gas purchases.

I recommend it and I don't have. I've been denied twice =/
fordguy, try again in 6 months and you will get there! The BCP can be one of their more challenging cards to obtain.
I got approved Sept. of this year but I only got the $150 card statement credit
. How did you get the $250 credit?

Just did a chat to confirm which offer I have and the lady said she would initiate a "investigation" and would get back to me.
Terrific card!! I got the $250 promotion earlier this year. The BCP is our most used card and generates a ton of cash back!
