I applied and the app was immediately cancelled (no HP). I'm guessing its because I just received two cards a week and a half ago. I'm debating on if I'll call or not. It would be nice to get the bonus.

My guess is no.  You could call, I suppose.  Though, success would be unlikely.

Which bonus?

---

The $250 cashback after spending $1,000 on the BCE.

Hm, my guess is that it would be futile to call.  You can try, but it seems Amex has a max 2 account per 30 days.  It wouldn't hurt to call, just to know when you can actually app again.  My guess, after 30 days from your most recent app.

Ahh I didn't realize it was supposed to be 30 days in between apps. I suppose I will retry on 9/30 if the offer is still available.

I'm supposed to be gardening too but I don't mind resetting it ahead a couple of days for a good deal. I'm also eye balling the Chase IHG and AARP cards but maybe I should just put my apping to bed. 

BTW I wonder if no HP / no new account = no garden reset?

I noticed that the signup bonus on the BCE is up to $250.

Go get your bonus (incognito)! https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/blue-cash-everyday

Since I have the Blue Cash and the bonus is $100 higher than the BCP, I'm thinking of applying for this card. What is the frequency allowed for revolvers? I was approved for 1 charge and 1 revolver on 9/3.

i clicked on ''Check Pre-Qualied Offers'' and was given ''Spend $500 and get $150 cash back'' that's 30% (5% more) than ''Spend '$1,000 and get $250 cash back'' which is  25%. However, i still see Gold Premier Rewards still popping up offering 50,000 points when you spend $1,000 which is 50% (25% more) than blue cash offering if you value 50,000 points $500 cash back.

Its tempting because the bonus, but in the end is the card worth it? To me not really

[Open123]

Plans should never be fixed or rigid.  

In an arena as fluid and dynamic as CCs, we should improvise and adapt when it's prudent to do so.  For instance, up until this year, every annual Amex app offered us a gift of at $300 - $1,000 in cashback or associated rewards to enhance our CR profile by increasong AAOA.  

Now, it's gone.  What good was waiting for the perfect moment? There is no "perfect" moment, since there can always be a "better" time.

I almost forgot about the 50k bonus on the PRG, its always available. I'll probably go for the double whammy when I can apply.

Depends how much you spend on grocercies ....  here's an example with this bonus 

you spend an average $500 a month on grocercies that's + $510 cash back in your pocket in your first year just from buying your groceries - $75 annual fee =

$435 back in your pocket in your first year. ($285 there after)

Or get the no annual fee version and earned = 

$430 back in your pocket in first year.  ($180 there after)

So long term you'll probably will earn more paying the annual fee if you spend more to recoup it back.
