On XX/XX/17, I applied for and was approved for American Express ' " Blue Cash Everyday Card '' through the public sign up offer for {$150.00} statement credit after spending {$1000.00} in the first three months. I met the requirements after spending {$1500.00} on the card from XXXX, but did not received the bonus as advertised. 

I contacted AmEx by secured message from the app on XX/XX/17 about this error and they claimed I did not sign up for the card with the public offer, and would not provide the {$150.00} credit. They opened an investigation and told me to wait 6-8 for an update. I never was notified about the status of the investigation, and in the 7 months since, I've contacted XXXX 4 additional times, twice more by the secured message, once by phone, and once by online chat today. After I told them I would submit a claim with the CFPB they again said they would not provide any credit or bonus to me. I did nothing wrong, and American Express should honor the bonus as written XXXX the offer terms are copied below ).
