Zync: return of the unicorn?

jadankert94 — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:32:40 GMT

I called last week and they said they are doing upgrades to the cards terms for the future so they had to pull the app but I guess it is supposed to be back soon.

You mean Amex Zync will be back soon? They might increase the AF to $40 and overhaul the reward system.

Splitting this out to a seperate thread, deserves it's own for rumormongering .

That's the way it sounds! I guess they are required by law or something that when they make such sweeping changes they have to pull the app to avoid conflicts when sending terms out.

I hear the fundemental idea of the card isn't changing just the alignment of how the rewards system works. I am assuming the the AF will go up a bit. $25 was just too good to be true.

Is this only for current ZYNC card holders? Or are they changing the terms and going to allow new sign ups? Either way, I'd love to have a unicorn

Well that sucks if this is indeed true - I just cancelled my PRG because I didn't want to pay the AF. If they do continue the Zync, I'll probably app in January for backdating.

If thats the case, I'm PC my green to zync for lower AF.

I'm gonna be quite pissed off if this is the case. I didn't neeed to PC then.

CSR made it sound like the current members would remain the same, however they would have access to the new pack system that they are coming out with.

AFAIK the only reason to PC was to switch from MRe to MR, unless you were going to one of the higher tier rewards multipliers like PRG?

I'm not sure how accurate the initial rumor is as of yet, may be nothing, but I was intending to keep my Zync in it's current state anyway... if they make it more useful again as a rewards multiplier of some sort, I'll be tickled pink.

Unless have full MR is important, I'd argue the Zync is the best valued Amex charge card. Ideally, use the Zync to accrue points with the accelerated rewards categories, then upgrade or apply (for signup bonus and fee waiver) to a full MR card when ready to redeem for travel.

In lieu of this rumor, I'm going to keep my unicorn and see what happens

I am going to keep my Unicorn too! I wish they bring back the Style and Restaurant packages!

Did CSR say WHEN the ZYNC program will be overhauled/relaunched?

Re: Zync: return of the unicorn?

Whatever happens, I hope they don't up the AF. I'm only keeping it open to maintain a relationship with Amex and because it looks cool. Plus it's kinda handy to have a charge card.

Me too. Even if they do up the AF, I hope it will still be lower than the Green. I will still keep mine, anyway.

Nope, just that it is in the process.
