Guru’s Wrap-Up
We’ve seen this offer in the past, but more people are now targeted. If you were targeted, it could be a nice bonus without a hard pull and better earning at supermarkets. The offers are sent by mail but you could also check your accounts online as they show in there as well. You can even get this bonus if you have had the card in the past and it won’t count as a new card if you worry about the Chase 5/24 rule. It will however disqualify you from a future bonus on the Amex Blue Cash Preferred credit card.
