I'd just keep it here.

Agree - no need to create multiple threads as the discussion is still evolving, which includes the [rumoured] AF hike and other changes.

The link that @FieryDance posted above does confirm the AF is being increased to $695.

Which is why I thought it would be a good idea to let MFers know about this confirmed rumor in the event there are people who are on the fence and would app today.

Has American Express sent this communication to anyone? I have not received anything saying the price was going up.  Is the price increase only for new customers?

It's for both. Existing customers will pay the new fee most likely next year.
