Guarantee it ties in to your AmEx offers if it doesn't already.
i don't know the offers have always been way off for me like resturants in nyc where ive never been or stores i've never shopped and there is usually some sort of gift purchase offer like sherri's berry or the like, i assume because ive used for flowers in the past
I have never got this kind of emails for pilot programs from Amex. I guess I am not that valuable for them...
program sounds great to me....
Doesn't something like Mint do this across all of cards (if you want to) rather than just Amex. Doing just one issuer doesn't sound that useful for an overall picture, not that I wiould want Amex viewing all of my accounts!
Also, is there some NDA with this? When I did some "research" for their website ideas, we had to sign some hefty documents promising to keep everything confidential even though what was being discussed was really trivial: stuff like (but not exactly, because of the NDA) "Should each item in this list have a round or square bullet?"
Yes, if a competitior got hold of that it would be game over for Amex!

Given that they already know what you buy then what difference would it really make?

It does except for the subscriptions thing.
no NDA, i got it via unsolicited email offer, i do think mint does do this kind of thing across the board as well, it sounds like an enchanced ondemand yr end summary. im not doing anything out of the ordinary w/ my amx cards, my white unicorn card is just for monthly tolls and misc business exp that i will get reimbursed for and my bce is just my general use card for the most part i dont carry big balances anywhere and if i do its usually short term. the offer just isn't appealing to me as i just dont like the idea of my account being reviewed more frequently and or closely than the general card holder population, i might give it more consideration if they tossed in the fico score, which i still dont have from them...

Does anyone actually believe they have not been doing this for quite a long time? The only difference is they are making a feature available to customers that they use internally (or something very similar).
