AMEX Product Change

I received my Blue Cash Everyday Preferred in October & even though I LOVE the cash back, I'm thinking I'd like to try accumulating the MR points more (b/c I'm too tempted to cash the cash in, lol).  Is it possible to do a PC from the BCE Pref to the Everyday Preferred?  I keep seeing conflicting info about some cards can & some can't and some you have to wait 13 months.  But, since both of these cards have an AF will they let me do that?

 

Also, I have a PRG card now that I mostly got for the signup bonus.  If/when I close this one early next year before the AF hits, will these MR points transfer over to my Everyday card balance (assuming I switch to that)?

 

Thanks for any info!

I don't think you can PC any card to everyday cards. In your example BCP and EDP are using different points structure so its probably 100% that you wouldn't be able to PC.

Re: AMEX Product Change

Adding to the above response if you want to accumulate MR points, the PC, even if they let you, wouldn't be a good option because you'll lose out on the 25K MR points bonus for the EDP if you just apply for it.

 

As for your question about the PRG; yes your existing MR points would transfer to the EDP.

Re: AMEX Product Change

I'm not to sure about the PC (your best bet is asking a CSR), but I do know if you have the ED and PRG if you cancel the PRG your MR points will still be active since you have another card that earns MR points.

Re: AMEX Product Change

On Monday I just PC my regular Blue card to the ED card. That's was the only product change I could do. They said b/c the rewards/redemption are similar. I would have to put a new app in for BC, BCP or EDP.
