Exactly why I didn't load up on AUs like everyone else. Better safe than sorry with Amex for now.

I have this card and using correctly at my grocery e.t.c.
But i did use it once at stop and shop a few months ago for 2 $500.00 gift cards. Should i also take this precaution and shut before they shut it ?

No clear cut rule, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with such a card in my wallet no matter the situation.

How about in your drawer?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Another thing to think about is this card good for anything going forward? If your answer is no then why not close it.
I just found a new supply of forks!

If you're going to use it only for real spend them the BCP is probably a better option for most people...

If I call them and switch my obc to a bcp, will I keep any earned rewards?

Chat may not work. The 800-AXP-EARN should be the number to call. I do not believe they will give you any issues.

2x huca saying the rewards have been forfeited..

You must be lying.

T&Cs and FT cannot be correct about this.
