The everyday cards are kind of a waste, go for an SPG, Or delta via referral, that of course if you'll be able to utilize the points.

Those cards bonuses aren't worth much by comparison.

You won't get in on the SPG but you can get it on other ones.

It makes no difference what card you get first, any card you get you won't be able to get the bonus again. But, when you are starting there are better cards then the ones you posted.

I’m sorry we are going in circles...If I get these cards that you mentioned at the regular sign-up bonus I will not get the better sign-up bonuses on the cards that I’m being offered right now....I can get spg delta later.
My question is again, what sign-up bonuses are considered great for new users (better then public) ? Anyone?? Thanks

There isn't much of a better starter amex card then an ED or EDP.

He is looking specifically for Amex sign up bonuses. Pretty clear

However clear you think it was, you still misunderstood his question.

According to my research Amex is pretty aggressive with new users and gives them much better sign ups....
