Notes

Amex personalizes welcome offers. We rank on a typical ~125k tier reported for many applicants; the public page advertises “as high as” 175k. Once-per-lifetime rules may still apply.

How the net was calculated

Estimated bonus value $2,500 minus first-year fee impact $895. For personalized “as high as” offers, this uses a typical public tier — not the ceiling. See the methodology.
