true, but they don't usually announce that info until Oct. I don't have those types of non-earning cards, generally, anyway. Too many of the mileage and hotel cards to track, as is....  For NY restaurants, etc.. perhaps it's more worthwhile...

Terms states "product" not "bonus"

If we identify you as currently having an American Express Card account, you may not be eligible for this welcome bonus offer. This offer is also not available to applicants who have or have had this product.
ETA: never mind he's referring to the business card.
