Possible to still get AMEX Zync if you're a customer?

Kendro — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:25:48 GMT

I love the look of the Zync card (I kinda think of it as the white Centurion haha).

Because the $25 yearly fee is relatively small, I consider it no different than getting a revolver with no AF. Granted it is still $25 but well worth the purchase protection when you buy large ticket items on the card. If I'm a current AMEX cardholder and call them, do you think it is possible for them to make an exception?

Newp =/.

Cannot get it in any shape form or fashion regardless of your relationship with Amex; cannot apply new, and cannot PC to it.

I agree in the look; I love the white! There is no way to get it anymore they have yanked it from anyone to apply. They will only issue a Zync card for replacement for current card members. Also I am not able to add additional card members to my Zync Card.

But you can try and keep us posted

The Zync has a rather loyal, cult following! We're a bit fanatical about our Zync, and of course, that it's a cool looking card is an added bonus.

And unfortunately as the others have indicated, it's no longer available under ANY circumstances to obtain. Those of us that have them will keep them as long as we can, hopefully not get PC'd to another product!

Maybe if you had a cent you were pushing a ton through they might make an exception, otherwise, highly unlikely. I hope they eventually bring it back or replace it.... I want one.

The Zync is no longer available. Those of us who have it are fortunate. We can keep it as long as we want, unless Amex change their mind and PC every Zync cardholder.

I love my Zync. It's White. It's American Express. It's legendary.

Amazing, isn't it, how a rather basic no-frills card has such a cult following and become "legendary"! That legend will continue to grow, the "white" will be more desired than the "black", simply because it's unobtainable !

For most people the black is rather unobtainable, too!

Me for example

So let's see... we have the Gold, the Platinum, and now... the rarest of all metals -- Unobtanium!

You can get a picture if one tattooed on your bicep so you can flex your spending power.

My PRG gets no love, but people make comments about my Zync all the time.

Bahahahaha @Duncanrr!

Me too @Repo-ed. My Zync has so much love...lol. Many never knew about the Zync when it was available. I live in NYC, and use the Path train (via the world trade center terminal) to head to my school in NJ. They are billboards advertising Amex Green, Gold, and Platinum throughout the Path station. Even when the Zync was available, not one billboard went up to advertise it. I only came to know about via this forum.

Yea, the Zync is very prestige now! LOL.

Hmmm can current card members replace a lost card? I wonder.

Revelate — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 00:41:15 GMT

According to Amex they can; the link is also still in the interface where others have been disabled.

I wonder how many cards they have in stock - before no longer being able to replace them

After reading this thread, I might keep my Zync just because of how rare it is. I've worked in retail for almost 2 years, and have never seen anybody else have one. I don't want to pay the $25 annual fee for no rewards, but I may make an exception and keep it open unless they FR me.

Wish I had known it was going away. Ever since I was denied for the PRG, I've been afraid to get back on the horse. I went for the PRG because I knew you couldn't PC from a Zync to another charge card and I already have a revolver.

Now that I got my BCE backdated to 2008, I'd gladly take a Zync but I can't. Still too scared to go for another charge card. LOL. I know it's a SP if I'm denied again (it was last time) but I'm also scared that I'd be approved and I'd get another hard pull. lol.

creditnocash — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:24:47 GMT

so guess i got to test out my theory.

Was at the movies and paid for concessions with the card.

Next morning don't have it (yesterday)

called today and rep asked if it was alright too overnight it. im like yeah lol.

so if your a current zync holder you can get a replacement but not get an au.
