Congrats on the card! Just as a general heads-up, it does look like many of the people who have been recently hammered by AmEx did "product changes." They're awfully antsy these days. You might want to seriously think about using the Delta for 6 months, showing them that you're responsible, and then swapping.

Yeah I have no problem using the delta for a few months and asking later, my question is that will they switch the account to the new card or ask me to apply for a new one altogether. I've had US Bank do this with my student visa to a platinum visa. However Cap1 said they can't do this, BoA also said the same thing. So if asking right off the bat means getting a blue I'd rather do it now than later.Do you all think they'll give me problems later or no? Either way I'm just happy to have an Amex now.
My understanding is that they're very happy to swap you out, and you keep the history, but I'd feel happier if you could hear from someone who has actually done this. I'm just a reader on this one.
You might want to start a separate thread on this with something like "future AmEx product change" as the title. I know that lots of people have done this in the past, and a specific title might catch their attention. There have been so many AmEx threads recently that some people are starting to curl up in a ball when a new one comes along!
