Today with Brex if you signup and have Brex be your primary card you get: $5k of AWS, $105 in Doordash and $105 on Instacart.
Although we're building a new rewards program that will launch later this year, would love to hear your thoughts on what a great rewards program looks like for you.
And thnaks on the feedback on the clarity around the rewards - will improve!

Is this still going on? I just discovered this post today and signed up, but didn't see any mention of the AWS/Doordash/Instacart benefits.

$5k of AWS is indeed incredible; can you share how you are able to offer such a generous benefit?
I'm a founder searching for a corporate credit card, so naturally I'm comparing benefits with other cards.
The rewards page boasts "Brex gives you valuable rewards equivalent to 500,000+ points on competitor card programs.", but gives no specific information about these rewards without signing up. This felt deceptive / scammy to me, and I instinctively closed the page.
Later I found the rewards FAQ question, but the statement "Like our cards, our rewards are different. They offer valuable savings to companies on the products they use most, like software, servers and advertising. These rewards help build the company, rather than competitor rewards programs that offer consumer-oriented benefits for individuals." again was too vague to know whether it was worth signing up to learn more.
Just my anecdote, but I would suggest offering more details on the reward program pre-signup.
