AMEX Blue Sky PC?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I currently have 4 AMEX cards (Blue Sky, Blue Cash Preferred, Magnet, PRG). My Blue Sky was my first AMEX card back in 2013. It hasn't gotten any use other than a reoccurring monthly charge to keep it active for the past year since I'm using other cards to maximize my rewards back. I have a CL of 20k which makes me hesitant to close it though. I've thought about transferring my CL to other cards, but my other AMEX cards have similar CL. Has anyone been able to PC it to another card or found any other options other than closing it? What's my best play with this card? Thanks!

I’d love to know this too. Blue Sky is my oldest card, it’s time for an upgrade!

Yeah it's a unique card and the only of its kind in the AMEX lineup. I don't think you can even apply for it anymore. I was looking for it under my wife's account and a credit card offer for Blue Sky didn't exist.

There was a Blue Sky Preferred, but I'm not sure if they offer it anymore.

Yep looks like it's no longer available. I'd be more interested in PC to another AMEX card. Has anyone had any luck doing that with the Blue Sky though?

Let's first rule out what they most likely won't offer as a PC:

1. You have a credit product, so they won't offer a charge card. This is an old and long-enforced rule.

2. You have a proprietary card, not a cobrand card (like a Delta or Hilton product). It's an old rule that Amex CSRs aren't supposed to allow PCs between card families. It happened for a long time, but in the last 2-3 years it's being enforced more strictly.

3. You have a personal card, not a business product.

So that leaves, as likely PC options:

Blue (weak MR earn rate)

EveryDay (weak MR earn rate)

EveryDay Preferred (strong MR earn rate, but with an AF and not too different from PRG)

Blue Cash Everyday (probably superfluous)

Blue Cash Preferred (you'd need a lot of grocery spend)

Old Blue Cash (I think they still allow PCs to it...meant for very heavy grocery spend, often with gift card purchases, ineffective without heavy spend)

Cash Magnet (you have one)

So you have options. BCP and OBC are good for very heavy grocery spend, but otherwise all your likely options are pretty mediocre.

Do you want to focus on earning cash? MRs? Some other award currency?

I have the Blue Cash Preferred and now the Cash Magnet. Don't see the point in getting an Everyday card since I prefer cash back. I guess I'd be more interested in a co-branded card, but you mentioned that they don't allow that. Any chance that I might get a rep to do it for me?

Not a chance.

Not a chance.  Looks like your only decent option is to see if you can transfer the credit limit from Blue Sky to other cards you already have.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but was hoping I could get a useful card instead. Oh well.
