Re: AMEX question

I think they have the same criteria...
One could even argue that the BCP could be looser due to a little risk being compensated for with the AF...
Approvals have been all over the place with Amex lately!

Re: AMEX question

AFAIK they both have the same criteria. Im guessing most new applicants like the grocery / gas rewards better than BCP.

Re: AMEX question

It's the same for both, just pick if the extra percentage is worth the AF for you.

Re: AMEX question

I think they are the same, most people just go with  the BCE b/c they cannot justify the $75AF. If you can however, then I say go for the BCP.  The higher % is worth it if you spend enough.
