Amex Offer

[ronstar7]

Hello all,

just got an email invitation to apply for Amex Blue awesome intro offer, could this be legit or as I hacked? I don't think I'm anywhere near when I should be to get offers from therm. I have NEVER received one in my life. I understand about mass mailings but still from Amex? Thoughts,... Suggestions... Offer expires on the  31st of this month. ALS I am super nervous about hackers if I do choose to apply should I respond to the email or I go the the site on my own? 

Amy my and all feedback is GREATLY appreciated.

Edit: sorry for typos on a tablet

I got the same one, its legit.

FYI: It is no guarantee of an approval its just an ad trying to get you to apply.

I figured that much but it still seems weird that I would even be on their radar... Did you apply?

I already have the Blue Cash Everyday which I recommend over the Blue. The Blue is one of their older cards which I guess they are trying to get people to apply for now?

It's also discussed in this thread.

It's not really an "older" card in any bad sense, anymore than the green is an older card (and much older than the blue).   There is a confusion between the Blue and the Blue Cash.   The latter really is an older card that many of thought was no longer available until a recent post here showed us it was.

+1

Exactly, just a marketing solicitation / invite to apply, nothing special.

BCE, and BCP are the only AMEX Revolvers I would apply for anyway. They are by far the best of the bunch.

Depends (as usual with credit cards)!  For me, for cash back, BC is much better than BCP/BCE.  All depends on spending patterns, and of course if you want something other than cash back, like Delta miles, another revolver would be better.
