Got an offer for an AMEX green in the mail - I had no idea they still existed. Is AMEX green still a thing?

Yes, although most card geeks consider it a poor value.
Yeah, that's what I thought. I was flattered at first, then opened it and saw the "green" and thought, "Oh."

Anyone with half a brain would consider it a poor value, whether they're a card geek or not.
Nothing like 1x on everything else and 2x through AMEX's travel portal for $95 a year.
I would like to see some improvements with this card. Perhaps a $50/year travel credit and 3x on groceries and gas.
Yes it's still a thing. I have one.
Long term it is a poor value. $95 per year gets you points earning that is easily beaten by the EveryDay for no fee.
I got it for an easy 25K point churn. I'll only keep it past the first year if they make me a really good retention offer.
It does have potential value as an upgrade, which can be used to get a bonus on PRG or Plat more than once. I've seen some people use it that way.
I suspect Amex keeps the product alive solely because it is still the most recognized card brand in the world, and people still sign up for it for that reason. It still has an air of prestige to it, even though there's nothing really special about it anymore.

My opinion is its only good if get a good signup bonus, as its been stated ED blows it out of the water with no af. The only other reason i could think about getting one is if you really need a charge card for some reason as opposed to credit card.
