Still Amazing-3rd Review
I posted two prior reviews, one on the application process and one since having the card. I have had the card two months now. On my 60th day (4/9/17) I applied for a CLI (read reviews and everyone said they applied after 60 days and got 3X the current limit) so I was told I had to wait until the day after 60 days. Well, I applied and it is true I was approved for 3 times my original limit. I started with 2k which I was initially surprised anyway due to my credit score (thought it would be more like $500) and now I am at 6K. I read some comments that people do not believe that individuals are getting these limits. I can attest this is true, when I was initially approved I had a 659 credit score with three collections, several store cards, subprime credit cards and 27% utilization. I now have a 673 Experian score and 1% utilization across all accounts. I follow the recommendations of charging and paying off in full so I only charge what I was going to pay in cash anyway (monthly bills, gas, etc). Do the prequalifier first!
Cash back and amazing customer service
This has been my favorite credit card for several years. The 6% cash back on groceries up to the $6,000 per year in spending coupled with the 3% back on gas more than pays for the annual fee. If you spent more than $500 per month on groceries (i.e. almost every family of 3 or more), there is no reason not to own this card. 6% back on $6,000 per year equates to $360 in rewards. When you subtract the annual fee of $95, you are still at an effective rewards rate JUST on groceries of 4.41%. This absolutely crushes the cash back reward rate of any other card on the market.
The customer service and website are top-notch and better than the competition.
You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't have this card, so you should go apply today.
GREAT CARD!
I Got Approved With A Credit Line Of $500.00. I Have Read Some Questions About American Express, And The Question Is, Does American Express Report To The Three Major Credit Beurau's? As Of Yet! I Have Only Seen On My Credit Report That I Have An Account Open In A Credit Line Of $500.00.
If You Get This Card, With A Credit Limit Of $500.00, Do NOT! Request A Credit Limit Increase Until 90 Days Or More! American Express Will Turn You Down Flat! There Is An Online Page, On American Express, For You To Ask For A Credit Limit Increase, BUT! They Will Have That Option BLOCKED! Until 60 Days. You Also Can See Your Credit Score For FREE! As An American Express Member!
In Order For You To Use Your American Express Card, You Will Have To Call And Speak To A Representive, So That They Can UNLOCK! Your Account For ATM Withdraws! You Will Also Have To Call American Express To Request Your Pin For ATM Withdraws! Once You Receive That, You Can Change Your Four Digit Pin, To What Every You Want.
I Give American Express FIVE STARS ***** It's A Great Card To Have.
This Is My Follow Up On The American Express Blue Cash Preferred Card. I Checked My Credit Report, And Found A Positive On My Credit Report, After 60 Days. I Think! That American Express Starts To Report Your Credit History After 60 Days.
I Have Seen Other Cards From American Express, There Is One With An Annual Fee Of $550. OUCH! This Card By American Express Is The One Card, That I Would Highly! Recommend! It Has NO! ANNUAL!
And Yes! Getting Rewards On This Card Is Limited! But! It Is A GREAT CARD! I Have Been Working On My Credit Score And My Credit Report, Due To The Fact That I Had Found Out That I Have Been A Victim Of Identity Theft! OUCH!! And So I Have Place Three CREDIT FREEZE'S On My Credit Reports! My Cost For Do This? $5.00 Per Each Credit Bureau.
This Prevents Someone, From Applying More Credit On My Credit Report. And It Is A Lot Cheaper Than That LIFE LOCK! I Just Now, Applied For The Discover It Secure Card. I Have Read The Reviews, And They Was A Lot Better Than The Other Secure Cards.

Are you reviewing the correct product because this card does have an annual fee of $95?
F'ing Troll.
Great cash back card out there! Wish it had a $0 intro and than the $95 there after!!!
Instant Approval
Approved instantly with $4000 limit.
American Express seems to only pull your credit from Expeiran. I only have 1 active credit card accounts on my profile a $2000 credit with a balnace of $244. I would encourage you to wait until your utilization rate is 10% or less to throughly increase your score and your chances for approval.

amazing , i can get approve with $1000 , with my credit around 670. and i also had approved for the everyday american aexpress , the silver one.
loved to have em, but you must pay them full. recommende.
Hi SR you're approved the same day?? Or not??
Approved
Approved with a 702 CK for $2000 CL. I have a $4500 C1, $4000 Chase and $2700 Discover so I imagine with time this CL will increase. Great card and first time Amex owner.
Ask for a CLI in 61 days 3x your limit.
I heard they don't make you wait 61 days for a credit increase
Good card with 0% for 12 months
I had this card but closed account. I did not get the perks and I did not read close enough there is an annual few of $95 every year. Be careful I went with blue cash everyday card no fee and good so far. Will see if I get the perks this time!!! If not I'll close account.
It can take a month or two for them to show up. Call and talk to them...
Yes, the reward dollars have a 1 to 2 month lag...so give it a little time, and you'll see the balance will go up on the reward dollars.
No fees for active duty military
Get the perks for free. The interest rate is pretty bad though.
Approved with CK score 627-Fair odds
I've been working really hard on building my credit. I have Capital One card with a $300 CL. CK recommended this Amex BCP credit card and I applied on a whim with much faith. Amex said they would have to look further into my application, the very next day a customer service rep called to verify my info with my bank. Once all information was confirmed, I was approved for 5K CL. How awesome is that? I've alway's wanted a AMEX card and to finally have one now is just AMAZING. All this to say, please DO NOT get discouraged when your app is not approved instantly. Just apply, let them verify and I'm sure you will get approved. Good Luck!
