AMEX 5% CASHBACK DEAD?

[CountValentine]

Have you had success with live chat recon?

Your account will have the option to convert or it won't. AFAIK there is no special tricks with this one.

I'm not understanding... if you have 2 BC cards, then you have to double the .5-1% min spend of 6500 for EACH card. I see no reason for 2 cards, since the spend and reward are unlimited.

This was my thinking in my original post. Redbull3 pointed out that once you get past the $6,500, two cards, with separate CLs, would potentially give more throughput, and the pull has already been done anyway, so a HUCA to get recon'ed might be worth it.

Does offering to move CLs around between cards help AMEX approve, like it does with Chase?

How long until you apply for a new SPG?

I just converted my spg to the Blue cash!!! I'm inordinately excited.

I got my card!
It's Blue,
NOT Blue cash.  I'm earning MR points. at 1ppd!  Yay! (sarcastic  emoticon)

I tried calling.  She tells me it's discontinued.  She tried but couldn't find it.

I went to the application and chatted from that page.  She invited me to convert my card to all the other Blue types, but I could apply for this card if I like.

Getting frustrated.
Next way to try?

Your account is either eligible or it isn't.

Looks like yours isn't.

-1 The reps are bad at finding that card. (if you're talking about the card that's not offered on their website.)

Read CVs posts. Your account is either eligible and they can convert, or they can't convert it.

The original chat that arranged the conversion had the right card.  He told me I can convert and he did it for me.  I got the wrong card, though.
If he thought I could convert and thought he had arranged that conversion, does that mean my card really is convertible if I get the fight rep?  or, because I got the wrong card, it means that my card really wasn't convertible?

Got my first statement and my CVS charges went under "other eligible purchases" at 0.5% anyone else get this? Kindve defeats the purpose of 5% at drugstores

They switched me over from SPG to BC two weeks ago with no issues.

Anyone have a link to this card?

I am unaware of a working link to apply for this card. You can do it on the phone or have a rep convert a different card.

Is this the Old Amex Blue you're looking for? If yes here's a link You may need to open it incognito.
