Why You Might Want This Card

EveryDay means just that. If you make at least 30 purchases each month on your credit card, you're going to love this American Express card. It has a 50% points bonus when you use your card 30+ times per billing period. Use it at supermarkets to get 3x points and gas stations for 2x points. Throw in that monthly points bonus and watch the points add up.

These points can be used so many different ways ... but "can" and "should" are two very different words in points land. Get the most out of them by transferring to airlines and hotels. Points Navigator will help you figure out which airline or hotel currently offers the best value options when it's time to redeem.

This card also offers additional perks like return protection, purchase protection, extended warranty and secondary car rental insurance.

The welcome bonus is once in a lifetime, so only apply for this if you really see yourself using it everyday.

Bottom Line

The welcome bonus isn't the selling point with this particular credit card... it's the bonus on everyday purchases that make it worthwhile. So, if you can't make 30+ purchases on this card monthly, it's not going to really be worth it. If you're playing the game right -- cashing in on regular new card minimum spends -- having an every day card like this makes that even tougher. But if you can meet the minimum transaction threshold and get all of your gas and groceries on it, too -- then this could be a card that stays in your wallet.

Application Rules

You'll be declined if you apply for a fourth Amex card in 90 days

Card approval not subject to 5-personal-cards-in-24-months rule

Amex allows only 1 bonus per specific card per lifetime (yours or that version of the card)
