I would like to see some new AMEX products!
I would like to see Amex have a card similar to the BCE that earns MR points instead of cash back. They have the Blue, but 1 MR point per $1 is not exciting... reward me for catagories, please amex
Count me in for wanting another Amex card. I'm still going after the BCE, but honestly, it is of little use to me, as I get 5% back from Target where I do almost all of my grocery shopping.

I'm almost certain they will.
How about:
Barclays Arrival
Barclays Priceline
BofA Travel Rewards
BofA Better Balance Rewards
US Bank Cash +
US Bank Club Carlson
Each of these is arguably better than the Discover It.
Yes, HLine.
Those are kinda new. I did jump on the Cash + myself. The others were such yawners to me that I didn't even think of them. I guess I was thinking of a real game changer from a major issuer that makes headlines.....like the Freedom or Blue Cash P or E did.....something that makes me go.....ooooh.

Pure speculation, but it's nontheless fun, especially on a Sunday afternoon.
I think we'll see a new Amex charge MR card with a 25K sign up bonus offering 2X points in restaurants, shipping, drugstores and supermarkets with an annual bonus if a certain spend threshold is reached.
Open123,
What you are describing is only negligibly different from a PRG. Personally, I don't see why Fidelity (via FIA) can offer a flat 2pts/2% card on the Amex network but Amex, themselves, will not.
But what would really make me jump at a new Amex is something that flat out beats the reward potential of any competitor. Why Amex, of all companies, is not the king of rewards is beyond me.
As I told an Amex Survey person once with regard to my Plum Card when they called me after my survey:
Amex should not be getting beat by Capital One's Spark on Cash Back rewards. PERIOD. Capital One gets a lower swipe fee and has to share it with Visa while charging a lower annual fee. Amex, with the Plum, has a direct advantage on every one of those areas. Amex should be beating the Spark's rewards potential. Plain and Simple. No excuses.
