Amex Blue Cash Everyday no longer offers a $150 bonus. The card offers now a $200 bonus. To earn it, you need to spend $2,000 in the first 6 months after opening an account. The $200 bonus is applied to the account as a statement credit, which will show up 8 to 12 weeks after meeting the spending requirement.
While the Blue Cash Everyday $200 bonus is far from the biggest bonus on the market, it’s still a good deal for a card that has a $0 annual fee. And the bonus is a 5% return on the money you have to spend to get it, which is higher than the card’s ongoing rewards rate.
You need a 700 - 850 credit score to have high odds of approval for the Amex Blue Cash Everyday Card. American Express will also consider your income, your existing debts, and how many accounts you've opened recently, among other things, when you apply for Blue Cash Everyday.
