For those with the Zync card

paul26 — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 00:01:05 GMT

I just called Amex customer service for a question and ended up asking about the Zync card and what i can do about it being discontinued. She asked if i would like to do a product change and she changed it to the Amex Gold. She gave me options of the green,gold, traditional gold and platinum. I tried this about 6 months ago and this was not an option but i guess it changed .

They've been doing it for a while. You can never go back, though. Hope the new, bigger AF is worth it...

What is the main benefit in your opinion worth switching?

This is an interesting one in my AMEX arsenal for sure.

Thanks; The new "card swap" department at Capital One upgraded it for me. I wrote up the details here.

I got excited upon reading this. I'm nearing month thirteen, for a PC, so if they don't agree, I'm going to hopefully have "chip potential."

Bad news. All of us that were promised an EMV chip got a new card in the mail with a new number, but no chip. Now the reps are saying that no EMV is available on the Unicorn, but one rep did say it would be after Oct. 30th.
