Example I saw a offer for double points for every dollar on travel now granted I booked with PRG my green also showed the same offer 

Less than 10 minutes later the offer was acknowledge via text that it had been used and applied to my account

Lets hope you're not profiled either UncleB ...Lol

Yeah, if they were profiling me (and doing it correctly) they would be giving me offers for Target and Sears... not for stores selling luggage where a suitcase cost half my monthly income like they usually do...LOL.

I have the Green still mainly for the 15 year BD, and surprising they've had quite a few bonus deals attached to it. Based on that I get close to the 95 AF in rewards. So not really making money with the card but it's far from useless.

See if an option to switch to the Sr. Green is available?

I have the Sr. Green and now that i also have the Everyday card they automoatically refunded and removed the membership rewards fee without having to ask, so now there is only a annual fee of $35!

I've had the card since the end of December 2012 and converted to the Sr. Green in November 2013 and when they sent me a chip card a few weeks ago my membership date says 2012 now!

In my view, the ED's introduction and PRG's upgraded benefits has rendered two Amex cards completely obsolete, the Green and Blue.  I was never a big fan of the Green or Blue to begin with, but even less so now.

For the sake of argument, even if one wanted the Green for NPSL and lower fee, since the person never travels, it's still better to app for the PRG's bonus, then PC to the Green the 2nd year.

How old do you have to be for a Sr. Green?

Hate to admit it but I might be there. I thought my $55 locked in fee was a good deal - but maybe I should be paying $35.

I might have to check into that... my account is fairly new, but my 'Member Since' date is 1995.  We all know they no longer backdate, but possibly that old member date will still be useful for something!

There's no age requirement for the Senior Green, but you don't earn MR points on purchases.  Before the ED, this was a useful card to keep MR points active and fully transferrable for those cardmembers who no longer spend signficant amounts, but have a large amount of unused MR points.

It would actually be perfect for me, since I have no use for MR points anyway.  When my account AF is due in April I'll definitely check into this.

Me too.  I'm considering PC'ing my PRG to the Senior Green and pay $35.  Given no more backdating, it may be worth paying the nominal fee to keep the long TL history of the account.

And, aesthetically speaking, the Green is far and away my favorite Amex card.
