How is AMEX with PCs?

icyhot — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 00:46:24 GMT

If I'm unable to upgrade the blue Delta for the Gold right away, could I PC it to a different card altogether, like the Hilton or the Blue cards? Or do I have to wait? Is anyone familiar with their PC rules? I really don't want that AF for a virtually useless card

I asked Amex a month ago about PC my ED to BC, they said it is ok, but only after 13th bill cut.

This is interesting.

Whenever I ask a CSR about a PC of my BCE to ED, they say they couldn't do it because the rewards were different - CB vs MR... all a good pile of hogwash then !

Anyway OP you can't do any PC or line transfer mumbo jumbo with AMEX before their 13 month cutoff.

Correct. Plus, I haven't seen anything as far as PCs from any Delta revolvers (co-brand) to non-cobranded cards such as ED, BC/BCE/BCP... YEMV OP.

You might as well close it, if it is not of any use to you.

However, you should pose that as a question to the forum. I for one am completely against keeping any unused card when an AF is attached to it. If you could get the AF waived somehow then it's a different situation.

That seems to be the case with AMEX and many other lenders including Chase, US Bank etc.

However in another thread a member said that their AMEX Delta card could be PCed into no-AF AMEX Hilton HHonors card.

No lender is "the one" lender. So what if you don't have an AMEX?

I don't have a BoA card. Or NFCU. Or Comenity. Or Diners. Or many others.

They don't meet my needs any better than my current line of cards.

Is this AMEX meeting your needs? If not, simply move on. With time, they'll come back with better offers.
