Amex everyday upgrade

althes — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 13:56:26 GMT

Was just offered an upgrade on my Amex Everyday to the Preferred.

15,000 points for 1000 spend.

Prorated fee will be charged after 45 days.

Congrats?

I'm not sure from your post whether you're planning on accepting or if you're asking for advice, but seems like a nice offer if you use the card enough to outweigh the AF.

Good luck!

I keep turning down the offer because I just woudn't use it enough to justify the annual fee.

If you are able to take advantage of it and make it worth while, congrats on the offer!

Was thinking about it after I made this post.

Congrats! I've had everyday preferred since they introduced it and find it's easy to blow thru 30 txns a month and get the 1.5x points. Plus 3x on groc and 2x on gas (making them 4.5 points and 3 points respectively). I put all my recurring charges on it; it's literally my everyday card, as anything > $10 goes on it unless they don't take AX.

Well worth the $95 fee.

I got an upgrade offer of 25,000 points for 2k spend. I took the upgrade offer. It was a borderline call because I didn't need the AF card due to having other cards that covered the categories. I made sure to make the 30+ transactions or whatever it is to maximize my earning but now the card is in the SD and will get downgraded back to the non-AF version in a year. I almost got rid of my amex gold because I upgraded this card but when I did the math with the amex gold I still came out ahead if I kept it due to the different credits offered.

I will be doing amazon reloads to hit the 30txns.

Then I will decide which bills to pay to maximize the card to its fullest.

Thanks all.
