IIRC, one can no longer PC to the Senior Green. I was under the impression that Senior Green only earned MREs but someone else who may have that specific product can likely chime in. I have not seen any Green > Senior Green downgrades in a quite a while.

Yeah, I'm a bit 'up in the air' on the Sr. card as well... there are varying reports as to its availability, so I'm not going to consider it a possibility until I'm on the line with an Amex CSR and they're PC'ing my account.
My understanding (from 'back in the day') was that the 'Sr.' cards come in both Green and Gold, but couldn't be directly applied for... they had to be PC'd from an already established Green or Gold card. Previously, the fee for the Green Sr. card was $35, and the fee for the Gold version was $55 (this was back before the regular Green AF went up to $95). Once the account was PC'd to 'Sr.' status, it would no longer earn MR points of any type... however, if you did want to earn MR points, there was a fee (of course) to add that back on, if I recall correctly it was $40 per year.
Since then, I've read of Sr. cards of varying fee structures, and varying MR/MRE point schemes. There's been so few actual data points on the 'Sr.' cards that pretty much all we have is background noise of what people "think" it is... just like I'm doing now.
Like I mentioned, when my time is up in April I plan to check on the option myself, which I suspect will be fruitless. In the event there's actually something to it, I'll be on here reporting the details within the hour.
