American Express must be the most bewildering CCC on the planet when it comes to their website! When I go to their home page, and then click "personal cards", and then at the bottom right, click "see more cards to choose from" and type in optima in the search box, it brings up the Optima Plat, period. All silver-colored, and it says "platinum" on it.

Amex still displays the blue Optima on their site:

I think that in other threads, I've seen people talk about having the blue Optima which was not part of the Oasis Recovery Program, so I'm assuming they still offer it to people, perhaps if someone doesn't qualify for Platinum?
I've been out of the Amex loop for a while.
But if I enter the URL that mjgray provided (thanks, mj!), it cheerfully takes me immediately to a page that says "Welcome to your Optima card," and there it is with the silver centurion image on a blue, not silver, background.
And if you go to the "View all cards" option, only the Optima platinum is displayed. Have they stopped offering the Optima with the blue background for new applicants?
Honestly, they need to slash their product line in half. Their cards seem to multiply like mushrooms after a spring rain. And their card search option doesn't work with Firefox, either, so I have to go in through IE. hmmmph

Oh cool. The original Optima (blue) True Grace Card. Amex discontinued it years back and converted people to other cards or Optima Platinum. Did they bring it back?
But if I remember correctly the True Grace Card had the words "True Grace Card" right under the name Optima. I believe that the True Grace Card was a different product packaged on top of the Optima Card. So True Grace and Optima Platinum were different. True Grace Card allowed card holders to carry balances up to 25 days past the due date I think with out paying a cent in interest. Don't quote me to be exact because I hadn't seen the blue card in many years.

Hauling... I've tried to post an answer as to how to post photos from another site, but of course my html tags aren't showing up so the reply looks a mess! I will PM you...

Well, I never use Firefox (I like the IE GUI too much in this forum), but I did just copy and paste your photo, and it worked in IE. Its what I always do for images.
