The bank sent me an invitation to apply for their Amex but this card shows 1.5% cash back, when I visit their website it only shows a 1% cash back card. It has no annual fee and is a darker bluish color differing from the website as well. Is this a new card, did anyone else receive one recently?
FNBO has a number of sites and many card products. I had an offer a while back for a 1.5% FNBO AmEx with a 6.25% APR and others received it as well. I think the general offer expired and the page for it seems to be gone. The one you received may be a targeted offer.

The creditor is only part of the equation. One's credit and income determine the limit that one will qualify for. My FNBO card is $18K. PenFed is generally regarded as conservative as well but I have a $30K card from them. It's not just the creditor that determine limits despite how people tend to generalize about "generous" and conservative creditors. If one's credit qualifies one can get large limits with "conservative" creditors. If one's credit does not qualify then one can end up with low limits and/or denials even with a "generous" creditor.

I got that "offer" in the mail. "Earn 1% on all your purchases", except they make it sound like they just invented sliced bread. What a joke. That's why I don't bother with smaller issuers.
If it's the one I keep getting, it's better than that: earn 1% on all your purchases ALL the time! As compared to every third thursday or something. Of course, that's apparently because I deserve better rewards.
But OP got the 1.5% one.

Mine had 1% cash back variable interest rate, and an annual fee of 19.00. Anyone else get an annual fee??🤔
So why app for it?

I don't mind a 19 dollar fee, 100 is another story.
OK, just the combination of fee and 1%
I got an offer for 0% intro to 5/2016, then 11.9 to 19.9%.
Zero % balance transfer until 10/2016.
No annual fee.
Still thinking it over.
CCT scores are EX 720, TU 718, EQ 685.
I am guessing it is a HP if you app? Which CRA?
ETA: nice pretty card stock for the offer
I have received 2 invitations from them, but I am not interested in anothr Amex.
I have had an FNBO Amex which used to be 1% and no AF, I got them to upgrade it to the 1.5% card they used to have advertised on their website. I think this is the card you got the invite for. I couldn't get them to lower the interest rate though. They told me I had to apply for the actual card to get it. I wish they would have given me that APR, but at least you can get them to lower APRs. They also are very good about giving CLIs. I don't think I have asked for an increase to my limit for a long time from them, but they just seem to give them to me often. I have had the card for over two years and it has grown rather nicely.
