Score $175 for Every Friend You Send to the Blue Cash Everyday Card

If you're already an American Express Blue Cash Everyday cardholder, now might be a great time to tell your friends about it. AmEx has quietly bumped up the referral bonus for this card, and it's a pretty sweet deal if you know someone who's been thinking about picking it up.

What's the Deal?

American Express is currently showing an increased referral bonus for the Blue Cash Everyday card when you log into your account. Instead of the usual amount, you'll get $175 in Reward Dollars for each friend who applies and gets approved through your referral link.

You can earn this bonus up to five times per calendar year, so if you have a few friends who are in the market for a no-annual-fee cash back card, this could add up nicely.

The person you refer still gets the standard sign-up bonus — up to $200 after meeting the spending requirement. So they're not losing out on anything by using your link.

Things to Keep in Mind

This offer appears to be targeted, so not every Blue Cash Everyday cardholder will see it. Log into your AmEx account and check your referral page to see if the $175 bonus is available to you.

Also remember that referral bonuses are typically subject to the same terms as other AmEx bonuses — you can't refer yourself, and the friend must be a new AmEx customer or not have had this specific card before. Always read the fine print before sharing your link.

Bottom Line

• Check your AmEx account to see if you're targeted for the $175 referral bonus.
• You can earn up to $875 per year if you max out the 5 referrals.
• The referred friend still gets the standard $200 sign-up bonus.
