Relax. AJC is using invisible sarcasm font.
Is he though? The Amex holders will descend from the heavens and slap their Cash Magnet cards in defiance 😂
For good reason. A lot of people under estimate amex offers, but they can be very lucrative esp around the holidays.

I saw a number of the offers and they’re cool if you use them but they can’t really be factored in to the every day redemption value of the card much like Navy Federal’s Member Mall can yield HUGE amounts of cash back but that doesn’t change the cashRewards card’s base 1.5% earnings.

And CM is 50% better than that!
My knock would be
a) no mention of Uber and Cash + (someone in the comments does)
b) Double Cash. Seems to me the PayPal card is better (no delay, no min redemption, no FTF) but maybe Sync doesn't pay the blogger....
Ding ding ding... we have a winner! 
You have to be careful with some of the various blogger sites... they'll often push the cards that give them the biggest referral kick-back.

Yeah I have noticed that most sites don’t mention the PayPal and when they do, they rate it poorly for the high interest rates and lack of a SUB. Also they make sure to mention people’s complaints about Sync billing and payment issues.
Its on my wish list but it would pretty much mean my cashRewards would end up being SD’d which I am not ready to do.
Yeah, no mention of Uber with the same 4% on dining as Savor but no annual fee, although Savor does expand the 4% to entertainment. And yes, I think the PayPal 2% Cashback card deserved mention. Yes, Synchrony loves their high APRs but I'm not aware of any Sync billing & payment issues, my only complaint is the due date is 8 days prior to statement date, compared to Barclays' and BoA's 3 days prior to statement, but that's a minor issue for me. SD Cash Rewards if you get PayPal MC? Naw, I use Cash Rewards for 3% on gas and PayPal MC for all non-category spend.

I don’t have the BoA CR card, I have the NFCU CR card. Straight 1.5% but honestly I really like Navy Federal.
I am going to see how things go with the new Sync Amazon Prime Store Card I got. I can’t even use it yet because I haven’t received it and Amazon wants me to put the card number in for verification but my TU will easily gain 90 points as all my 60, 90, and 120 day lates will be gone in July (sooner if I would actually call for EE but I want some accounts to age first anyway) so the PayPal MC is on a very short list.

I don't know what billing and payment issues people are talking about. I just redeemed my rewards and it was in my PayPal when I exited back to it. I also paid them last night around 11. They pulled the payment through PayPal at 6am and they already gave me credit for it even though it won't post to the balance for another day or two.
My cash rewards has been SD since I got this card. It's my favorite along with my amex because of how easy paying and redeeming is on those two.

Screw it, I’ll go for it. Not until TU is clean though, I don’t want a low SL. Plus I just poked the Sync bear for my Amazon card this month already, don’t want to spook them. My CR would still get Member Mall usage so it wouldn’t be an SD card.
If the payment comes out through PayPal, that’s an added bonus although I will probably set up push payments from my bank for the cards anyway for simplicity.
