No credit card required

Um...
Well this is pretty underwhelming...
I guess it's a good Gas card if you use the Plenti program for that?

Do you know how to do this? I can't seem to figure out how to enroll my BCE.

I stand corrected, it appears you cannot enroll your BCE or whatever card.. Well it appears you get a plenti card for free.. Show at retailers and get X loyalty points so you gotta carry around another piece of plastic from what I can see when I enrolled.. So Amex's plenti card just elimiates the extra card..Like another poster stated, alot like Upromise although Upromise allowed you to enroll whatever CC.

That's pretty disappointing. Maybe they'll fix that sometime in the not too distant future.
Be nice if you could just link it to existing say BCE or ED and if you happen to get rewards great, if not then oh well... The only thing the Amex version appears to have is you don't have to carry another additional "savings" card around just use the CC.. Blah
I probably would've applied if Amex hadn't changed their reporting of newly opened accounts, but otherwise this looks pretty worthless.

This actually does NOT eliminate the need to carry the extra card.
From the T&C (emphasis is mine):
Plenti Program
Plenti Credit Card: For each dollar spent on an eligible purchase using your Plenti Credit Card from Amex, you earn one Plenti point. Eligible purchases are purchases for goods and services minus returns and other credits. Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, balance transfers, cash advances, purchases of travelers checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, or purchases of other cash equivalents. Plenti points earned from using your Credit Card will be posted to your Plenti rewards account at the end of the billing period following the one in which the transaction for which you earned them took place. To be eligible to receive Plenti points from the use of the Credit Card, your Credit Card account must be active and not in default at the time of fulfillment.
Plenti Rewards Card: When you make a purchase at a participating Plenti partner location, you will need to use your Plenti rewards card in order to receive additional Plenti points for qualifying purchases at such location. Each Plenti partner will have different ways for you to earn points for qualifying items, services or behaviors. Participating partners and offers are subject to change without notice and are subject to geographic availability, location exclusions and additional terms. See www.plenti.com/partners for details. Plenti is a rewards program operated by the American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.
Earning Points at Plenti Partners. You may receive PlentiSM points when you make a purchase at a participating Plenti partner in multiple ways, including: (1) by paying with your Plenti Credit Card; and (2) by using your Plenti rewards card. The terms for earning Plenti points differ between the two. That means that the number of Plenti points that you receive for the same transaction may vary and there may be instances where you receive Plenti points for purchases with your Plenti Credit Card and from using your Plenti rewards card, or from one but not the other.In order to be eligible to receive the maximum number of Plenti points for a purchase at a participating Plenti partner when you use your Plenti Credit Card for payment, you must both (1) pay with your Plenti Credit Card and (2) use your Plenti rewards card.

You'd think they'd find a way to turn your plenti amex card iNTO your plenti rewards card so you don't need to carry both.
Yep agree.. Lame...Still confused why Amex wanted to team up with Plenti, unless Plenti is paying them? Silly partnership just in my opinion
