I don't think they switch it to the everyday. you would have to apply for that seperately. The main card they let you change the Delta to with no AF is the Hilton. Has something to do with miles to points to cashback. Since everyday is cashback card. Pretty sure you can't. But as i said you could switch it to the hilton which is in the Cobranded Family. The everyday is not co branded.

Unfortunately it looks like this may have changed... apparently now the Amex CSRs no longer have the ability to change a card from one partner to another, or to a proprietary card.
