Yeah, that's the offer I'm waiting for.
Let me go check. . . .
Nope, I still have the ho-hum "Upgrade and Earn $75 BackAfter you spend $1,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months.


Still, if you can get the BCP for a $20 AF, you're still raking in 5.7% cash back on groceries.  Not too shabby.

Re: Amex BCE to BCP upgrade offer

I'd hold out for the free year, plus $150 if the goal is to keep that trade line. 

 

If one doesn't care about keeping the original account, Amex is offering $300 statement credit for $3k in spend over 6 months.

Amex - Platinum, BCE
BofA - Unlimited Cash Rewards Sig

You sure you can get another SUB on the same card?  I thought that wasn't allowed with AmEx.

True. $20 for that card is good. But I know there are better deals that they offer and I'm holding out for a no-annual-fee plus some cash back kinda offer.

Yeah, I already got the SUB on the BCP. Later downgraded to BCE when the annual fee posted. Hoping to get a good offer to upgrade back to BCP.

I think @dfwxjer is not talking about upgrading BCE, but apping for a new BCP and getting another SUB. Pretty sure AmEx wouldn'f offer that.

I did upgrade my BCE to this BCP. I do agree that it sounds like this other user is out of luck but who knows with Amex. Since they already received the SUB for the BCP I'd highly doubt they'll get an upgrade offer beyond what they mentioned above.

Re: Amex BCE to BCP upgrade offer

Only a $75 on $1k spend upgrade offer for me.

 

Wouldn't be worth it for me unless I get the $150 on $1k or even the $300 on $3k. Darn universities charging a 3% CC processing feeSmiley Mad
