Odd... not me, but then I just have the store version and not the Amex version.
Sounds like it will only effect the Amex version account holders. E.g. if you have both, the Amex stays and store version is closed.

Yes.
The AMEX card version that came with (used to come with) In-Store Account and the Out-Of-Store Account; the in-store account is getting closed.
Now, it's just one or the other, and not both on one card.
Hopefully, this means we can solicit an upgrade to AmEx. I still have my store card and a closed AmEx, so I have never been eligible for the upgrade offer.
I got my letter today. I'm mortified .. I've had my store account since 1995 it has a 25K limit and the Amex (2008) has an 12000 limit. Is it possible to choose which card they close? I never use the Amex. They cut it from 25K during Covid and now I've not even bothered to put anything on it.

If it's like last time, it will merge the accounts and retain the opening date of the oldest account. Can you post the letter either a picture or the wording? I'm really curious to read it. And if there's any website to check. Sometimes those letters have a FAQ on the back.
