Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer
You can hold up to 5 cards from this issuer simultaneously.
Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending, misuse of Amex Offers, excessive statement credit farming, too many applications within 90 days, repeated card cycling (open/close/reopen), high cash advance activity, suspected fraud or identity inconsistencies, sudden large spend spikes inconsistent with account history
Cliff Effect Rules
The once-per-lifetime rule applies per card product — earning a welcome bonus on the Blue Cash Everyday blocks earning it again on that same product permanently. However, it does not block earning a welcome bonus on the Blue Cash Preferred, as it is a distinct product. Downgrading from Blue Cash Preferred to Blue Cash Everyday resets the product but does not restore bonus eligibility if a bonus was previously received on the Everyday card.
International Friendly
May have limitations for international use.
Additional Issuer Rules
American Express enforces a once-per-lifetime welcome bonus rule — applicants who have previously received a welcome bonus on the Blue Cash Everyday Card are not eligible for the bonus again, even after cancelling and reapplying. Amex also enforces a 2-in-90-day rule, limiting approvals to no more than 2 new personal Amex cards within any rolling 90-day period. Applicants who currently hold or have previously held this exact card may still be approved for a new account but will not receive the welcome offer.
Military & Hardship
MLA Compliant
Complies with the Military Lending Act (36% APR cap for active duty servicemembers).
SCRA Benefits
Interest rate capped at 6% (including annual membership fees, late fees, and returned payment fees) on pre-service balances for active duty servicemembers. Annual fee waived to $0 under MLA for cards opened while on active duty. SCRA relief is retroactive to active duty start date and applies for the duration of active service plus up to 180 days after leaving active duty. Relief must be requested online or by phone for SCRA; MLA relief is applied automatically at account opening.
