Issuer Rules

Rules: Eligibility for the Bread Rewards American Express Credit Card requires applicants to be at least 18 years old (21 in some states), a U.S. resident with a valid SSN or ITIN, and possess a good to excellent credit score (typically 670+ FICO) with sufficient income. New cardmembers can earn a sign-up bonus (e.g., X points or $Y cash back) after spending $Z within the first 3 months of account opening. Store-specific restrictions apply, meaning bonus points or enhanced rewards may be limited to purchases made at BreadFinance partner merchants or specific categories, and redemption options may be tied to the BreadFinance ecosystem. Applicants are generally limited to receiving one sign-up bonus for this specific card product every 24 months.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 2

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending, high cumulative credit limit across BreadFinance products, repeated bonus churning, excessive returns, sudden large transactions inconsistent with historical spending patterns, late payments, defaulting on other BreadFinance financial products, or suspected fraud.
