American Express Zync Returns??

The American Express Zync card, for me, is a pretty cool looking card and an excellent way to start in the AMEX family.

 

Do you guys think American Express will ever allow applications for it again?

I personally hope it returns. I've never had a NPSL charge card.

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Rumour mill has been churning on some AMEX specific forums that the Zync may be returning, that applications were just suspended, and that it will be coming back with new benefits.  Also rumours of new revolvers in the works, presumably for a partial replacement of the Clear...unless they're going to do the same thing there as well.

Re: American Express Zync Returns??

I would want it just to have a cool white Amex card. I have a mostly white debit card and I love the look of it.

Shallow, yes, but at least I'm honest about it Smiley Happy

Sadly, me too :/ but not even because it's a cool white AMEX revolver! The fact that it's so rare and coveted by this forum makes me want to get it XD

 

Still haven't run into one in my area...kinda disappointed! Have pretty much seen every other AMEX (well, except the Centurion, of course) coming through JCP!

 

Though I would definitely wait on applying for it. I would want the maximum backdating, plus would want some inquiries to fade...my poor EX report :/

Daybreak, I have a BK on the report, so it will probably be a few years before I can get it. I could do the backdating also since Amex was my first card ever in college. Oh well... I'll be curious to see what new offerings Amex comes up with either way.

Well that stinks D:

 

Well, on the bright side: by the time your BK falls off or ages to the point of it having nearly no effect on your CR and score, I bet your credit profile will have improved and aged dramatically and you will have MANY selections to choose from! Smiley Happy
