I glad this thread piped back up, I was contemplating upgrading last night. I have a question though, I already have a green card, so if the PRG or plat comes out with a huge bonus will I qualify for it being that i already have a green card? I just thought I'd ask because if I do qualify if just wait for a sweet offer in either then pull the trigger.

That'll depend.. I don't qualifiy for the normal PRG sign up bonus because I'm a current card holder (of the BCE. ED, and Blue)

---

I had my Surpass and BCE when I apped under the 50k and 1st year waived AF link...so you can get the bonuses offered.

You just app incognito.

---

How do you app? While one is logged out?

---

In Internet Explorer, there is a menu Tools --> In Private Browsing option that takes care of setting up incognito for that window. No messy clearing of cookies or other chores.

---

Right, Private Browing is even better!  No messing around with control panel.

most modern browsers have an incognito mode/ private browsing mode built in. I am pretty sure Firefox, chrome, IE and safari all have that feature.

Will they know though that once you link your new card to your account?

Incognito apping is something that (usually) works currently, although there is no guarantee it will always do so (because it is a STUPID loophole!)   And Amex doesn't need anyting as complex as linking your new card to your account:: presumably your app contained your SSN which they can trivially see also belongs to existing cards.   So I guess they either don't care, or never got round to fixing it, or relatively few people really do this.

Can someone confirm this has begun? I haven't received any notification nor do I see the changes on the Amex website.

There are reports elsewhere that is in effect now (airlines reimbursement specifically) but I'd suggest asking on chat prior to making any purchases.

Someone on FT reported that he called about the airline reimbursement and was told that for now all you have to do is call them and pick an airline (basically same procedure as Platinum minus phone call).  So if that's in effect I'd image it all is. But youre right though that nothing on website or any emails.  Strange

I was able to select and activate my fee credit after chatting with them when they sent me to https://www.americanexpress.com/selectAFC

Just so everyone knows, depending on the airline, gift cards may show up as reimbursible fees.
