This card is going to put my Discover card to rest.

Got ya.... I thought it might be newer.

My wife has one of those cards but we cannot change for 12 months...

I app'd for one but was declined. Then I ended up with the Costco Amex so I will stay out there for now.

The new card looks sweet. I will be curious to read how you like it!

DI, that is nice offer! Good for you

I would love to get one too ... but I haven't. Mine is just a plain Blue, not Blue Cash. I just called and spoke with their rep. I asked about SF or HP, she did not have no idea about it. But she said it shouldn't be no problem since I have this card from 12/2005. Also she mentioned to me that I will loose my current pts of 196 if I request PC now .. which is $196 spent since last redemption. The minimum redemption for a gift card is 1000 pts for $10 at Old Navy and etc. To earn 804 pts, it will takes FOR~EVER with few $/mo charge ... I could be gone by then or may not.

PC from Blue to Blue Cash Everyday ...

Pros:

I can use this Blue Cash Everyday card on 3% and 2% when my Discover More and Chase Freedom does not have 5% cashback.

I can earn more pts than plain Blue, because I will use it more.

Cons:

They no longer have the same gift cards as used to be. Not much choice.

I did the PC because there was no way for my to reach the $6500 spending amount before the rewards kicked in. The day after my PC updated on AMEX's website, I started using my card more to gain the points. When my statement generated, I did not earn the points expected.

Apparently, the points doesn't start until the new Everyday card is activated. I stopped using the AMEX card as of last week. On two occasions, I tried using my card, and the system didn't accept my zip code and the transaction wasn't allowed at checkout. I called AMEX about it to see what was up with that. AMEX checked its system and I checked my last statement. The zip code was matching. I haven't used the card to see if its working again.

So, last week, AMEX committed two double whammies against me. 1. No points 2. Declined at checkout due to a problem with my zipcode

Is that mean HP?

You did not confirm the information with Amex regarding the earning the pts?

What? Where did you try to use your Amex? I only can think of is at RedBox or gas pump that requires zip code.

It was a soft pull. No, I didn't confirm. At this point, I really don't care. I'll continue to use my Chase card. I tried using the card at gas pump and at Walgreens.

Well that sucks! Soon enough Discover will be offering 5% cash back on groceries, gas, & restaurants so that Amex will be taking a back seat i'm sure.

Thanks DI ... I've requested PC from my Blue to Blue Cash Everyday. When I called yesterday, a rep told me she need to do HP it because of different product. But just now, he (Mr. Harley) told me it will not HP because I am not app for a new card, it's only PC/Upgrade. I had 196 pts with my Blue and gave it up for my new Blue Cash Everyday. That's alright ... it takes forever for me to accumulate up to minimum of 2500 pts to redeem it with one DVD rental/mo at RedBox.

He told me I can use my Blue until I receive Blue Cash Everyday card. I'll go with your very good learning experience ... put my Blue in to the bed for sleep ~ night night Blue ~ (_ _ )zzzzzzz

I won't be using my new Amex Blue cash Everyday until August except small charge/mo ... I use my Citi Thankyou Card mainly in June and July due to their 20% CashBack offer ... not even on Chase Freedom 5% (gas/hotels/airlines in July) and Discover More 5% (grocery stores/drug stores in June, gas stations/hotels/movies/theme parks in July). Begin August 1st, I will be use my Blue Cash Everyday at grocery stores and gas stations other than Discover More and Chase Freedom 5% CashBack period.

Citi is offering a 20% BONUS to your cash back, not 20% cash back.

20% of the 1% you normally earn.

1.2% cash back

Sorry for the confusion ... it is 20% Bonus ThankYou Pts until 7/31/11 on every purchase. Which I will earn 20x more than normal. But, it will adds up on to the annual cap earning.

I think the offer still is 20% more than what you currently earn, not 20x more. I could be wrong... hopefully I am because that would be an amazing offer!

Sorry again .... It's usually earns 1% ... instead, I will earn 20% ... which is 20x of regular rate ... not 20x more ...
