The "Every Day" card....
Doesn't look like anything special... Lol although it is a new Amex!!!

It looks like they had a bunch of the old Amex Clear cards... Haha I think that's the one...

Who's applying?!? Should I?!? Lol

I'll be adding it to my collection on January of next year for max backdating. Also thinking if I should PC my Blue Cash (old) to it, but I figure the card may soon become a unicorn, especially with the new "Everyday" product coming out soon.

AMEX is probably going to axe the following cards from their product portfolio.

Blue Cash (5% > 6.5k) - Replaced by BCE and BCP

Blue (MRE) - Greatly overshadowed and possibly replaced by ED and EDP

Agree with the Amex Clear resurrection. I have a few Amices on the chopping block starting with Delta Gold Skypesos next month. DL miles arent worth the emailed statement.

I may pick it up, but not until January (want to age my accounts so no apps until aug and then I want max backdating) and my PRG AF will be coming up in Jan as well. I want to see how the card plays out with the other cards. I like MRs but do not want to pay the AF on the PRG to keep it past the first year. With the new card I would likely replace the BCP with it and then use it has my everyday non-bonus spend card. Prior to this card coming out I was considering getting the SPG in Jan for this purpose. I will decide in December which route I am going to go.

Seems like you can't PC from any card to these, at least that is the word from Amex.

Not sure Blue Cash would go, it's stuck around with the BCP/BCE for quite a while now and ED/EDP isn't a good substitute.

I can imagine them allowing the Blue via a link (like the Blue Cash today)but not sure why anyone would take it in place of the ED!

I'm going to appy for it. For me, the bonus categories equate to a 3%, 6% and 9% cash equivalents, assuming 1 MR equates to 2 cents per point.
