Hi Everyone! Question: Should I upgrade my regular AMEX green to the new AMEX Green Rewards card? Has anyone done it. I think I'd like the annual year end statement and double MR points. They send me a link: https://www66.americanexpress.com/drivetoweb/prgreenupgrade.jsp?campaignId=25&sourceCode=A0000000A2 Do they pull a hard? Is it automatic upgrade? Any thoughts?..(especially Dogman?) Thanks,
an Amex retention rep told me to keep the original green. the MRs you earn on the regular green is at a 1:1 the Green MR card earns 2x points.. but seems to redeem at a 2:1 ratio. So it seemed like you earned nothing extra. Check it out to make sure I understood him correctly.. but it seems like a shell game.
I called to ask about upgrade from Gold to Rewards Gold and they said they would pull a hard, so I decided against it.
I upgraded to Rewards Green & have received double the points for gasoline,groceries,cell phone pymts,& drug store usage(which is what I've always my Amex for). My points always show double for each dollar charged & it has not affected my redemption negatively as we speak. Sister Girl
Hi Rick - if you do not have a BK on record, then APPLY. Yes, they will pull a HARD INQ - for the same card you have now with a higher fee - $110! later - dogman
Thanks for the info everyone. I think I'll wait until I get a pre-approval from them (if they offer it). Dog, did you bite and upgrade?
