Some people have suggested that it is only for "solicited" members. I dunno about that, if online registration doesnt work, USE the phone number that was posted below

Thanks. I'm in. One question. It says it's good for virtually all retail purchases. Anyone have any idea from their past promotions what they mean by "retail"? I personally wouldn't think of bills, plane tickets, and stuff like that as being retail, but I wonder if they count?
I called an AMEX CSR about this one. They said that it is double your current tier, so if you are in the 1.5/3.0% tier you'll get 3.0/6.0%. Also, they verified it was good at Lowe's/HomeDepot (which was what interested me).
I see it says: The maximum cash reward is limited to $2,000 of eligible spend between March 1 and April 15, 2005. I take that to mean that you can earn double cash on a max of $2000 of spending - i.e., the max reward from the double cash is $120 (6% reward for $2000 in purchases at Lowe's, for instance). Everyone agree with that? The CSR claimed their offer didn't show the max, but they also seemed vaguely clueless.
What did your postcard say? My postcard seemed to be for double Cash Back on dining only, Mar 1 to Apr 15, no listed maximum, and not URL to sign up for or phone number to call. I assume that meant I was already auto signed up for that promotion, but that's different than the promo discussed in this thread. If you got the same card as me, perhaps you were authorized for 1 promo but not the other.

Me too. Thanks OP. Thank you for registering in this promotion from BlueCash® from American Express. Your enrollment is now complete. Remember, to earn double Cash Back, use your Blue Cash® Card from March 1 through April 15, 2005 at virtually all of your favorite stores.

Good Point. My postcard was for double points for all your everyday purchases at gas stations/ pharmacy/ stand alone supermarkets. They gave a number and url to sign up. I dont have it with me now, but will update this post later. Not to disappoint anyone- but my postcard fine print mentioned- "This offer is only for solicited members" The offer may be member specific.
