There’s no way to know for sure if the Blue Cash Preferred $150 bonus is still available. The $150 bonus used to be an offer for Amex Blue Cash Everyday cardholders who upgraded to the Blue Cash Preferred. However, there’s no guarantee that this offer still exists or if it’s the same amount.
The Blue Cash Preferred’s normal initial bonus is $250 statement credit for spending $3,000 on eligible purchases in the first 6 months.
Here’s more info about the Blue Cash Preferred upgrade offer:
- The Blue Cash Preferred $150 bonus was for Amex Blue Cash Everyday cardholders who upgraded to the Blue Cash Preferred. To qualify, cardholders had to spend $1,000 or more on eligible purchases in the first three months.
- At the moment, the offer you would get depends on several factors such as your credit standing and account history. Sometimes, there are no offers to upgrade.
- To check the current upgrade offer, go to the Blue Cash Preferred’s page and click on the “Request an Upgrade” button. It will take you the application page, where you can see the bonus that is available to you.
- You can also call American Express at (800) 528-4800 to ask whether you qualify for an upgrade offer or not.
- Sometimes, Amex sends offers to eligible cardholders via email or regular mail.
To increase your odds of getting an upgrade offer, make sure your account is in good standing. That means a history of on-time payments and low credit utilization, preferably less than 30 percent of your overall credit limit.

The Blue Cash Preferred credit limit is based on American Express’s assessment of each application, so the card’s credit limit will be different for each applicant. American Express does not disclose any specific Blue Cash Preferred credit limit information in the card’s terms, though.
For the most part, Blue Cash Preferred credit limits depend on each applicant’s overall creditworthiness. People with the most income and the best credit scores are generally offered the highest starting credit limits.
