And as of late there are no other personal Amex cards that make him any $$$ anymore either.

... which means the only way to do this as close to as large as before is to get the TD/WF cards that are uncapped for the first 6 months and then churn them every 6 months?

My current mindset as well. I highly doubt anyone is going to spell it out for us. Time to play around with good old t and e (trial and error).

People still have the older version without the T&C's.

Moving the discussion here... I am shocked to hear this... Are these people who survived the shut downs or is it possible to get new accounts? Does converting or the link on page2 of this thread still work?

I still have the old one, though I really have no use for it becasue I would not dare buy a GC at for example stop and shop for the fear of a shut down.

Are we positive that there are people with cards without the new T&C limitation?

My understanding is that *everyone* got the new T&C (whether they're aware of it or not).

They only take effect at the next anniversary date after March 2015,  so someone who opened a card in Feb 2015 still has 6 months

Doh, I need to get back on the horse. For some reason I assume T&C changed the card the month T&Cs were published  :-[

I would check your T&C's first and then expect a post in this thread.  ;)

I checked. And I deserve to post there. I read the 3/15 date as being the date after which it was changing, not the date after which the anniversary changes it.

Sorry but I can't keep all this stuff straight. What I posted might not be 100% accurate. Sometime after the 1st of the year the 50k cap T&C's started to show up. Make sure you check your T&C's.
