Amex is upgrading Zync Cards

I upgraded my Zync to premier rewards gold today. CSR told me there was no need to do soft pull and that they just started offering this. . "Counts as product change not new product." I had Zync for exactly 12 months.

Starting Score: <600 & No Score 2/2011
Current Score EQ : 726
Current Score (TU Walmart): 676
Goal Score: 750

Absolutely Smiley Happy

Did you try to get your first year fee waived?

Re: Amex is upgrading Zync Cards

Dont think they are waiving the annual fee for upgrades but at worse they would say "No we can't". Try Smiley Happy

Do the extra rewards or benefits justify the increased fee?  I ran the numbers a little while ago and decided to keep my Unicorn for now.

I can justify it for gas and groceries.

Re: Amex is downgrading Unicorn Cards

Is this card going to be easier to obtain like zync.  Or going to be in line with other charges?  Sorry for jacking.

Wouldn't BCP at 6x groceries and 3x gas be better with less than half the AF be better?
