Not really suprising given the Amex ED card does everything this one does, and much more, for no fee as well. Don't know why this card has stuck around this long honestly.

I've been putting off PCing mine to ED or EDP for a long time now.  Guess I'll have no choice now if I want to keep the account age.

I just PC’d my AMEX Blue to the ED after calling in to check something and the CSR really pushing the change. 🙂

I've been holding out in hopes that the PC path would change, particularly being able to PC to a cobranded card if it were possible.  ED and EDP don't make great sense for my spend and current rewards strategy.  Playing the waiting game to see how badly the reduced SPG earnings will affect me right now.  Once the new categories are out, I'll have a much better idea of whether to continue as is, go the Chase route (if the ability to combine points goes away, that's likely out), go back to MRs as my primary currency (which would likely work well with a PC from Blue to EDP), switch loyalty to Hilton, switch to concentrating on Delta spend, switch to TYP (unlikely), or switch to maximizing cash back.  So many options.

 

I know there are a handful of other people here with Blue from American Express, but I am pretty sure most of us have holdovers from around the turn of the century.

If this is true, what will happen to the current cards?

We’ll either be given a choice to upgrade to ED or EDP, or they’ll just be converted to ED.

People still hold this card even with a PC option available?

Et tu K?
