Currently the AmEx EveryDay & AmEx EverDay Preferred are not accepting new applications with all landing pages including referrals resulting in errors (looks like the Cash Magnet card is also resulting in errors).
I suspect these cards are either being discontinued entirely or are being refreshed and applications will go live again once the changes are announced. American Express said they would refresh 40 products this year and earlier this year the card designs on these cards were updated. If I had to guess it would be on these cards being refreshed.
Hat tip to /r/amex
Refresh = adding another useless monthly fast food credit. I am rooting for Taco Bell this time. Although seeing how high AXP is running, they should be sending some Wendy’s tendies our way.
The Everyday Preferred used to be a compelling card back before grocery spend was a bonus category on so many cards. With 30 monthly purchases, it paid 4.5x, which was good enough for me to spring for the $95 AF. But when everybody else started having good multipliers on grocery, I downgraded to the no AF version. Now I use it only for Amex Offers.
I have this card and apart from SUB, I haven’t used this card for past five years. Just occasional amazon charges. MR points finally I used to ticket booking with avancia last month lol
I did a little digging and Amex did stop accepting new applications with the Green refresh in 2019, so there’s hope that we have a refresh in a couple of days and not a discontinuation, but it could also go the way of Optima/Clear/Zync/Blue/OBC/Blue Sky…

In:NYC and its sister cards get no respect….
Personally I think they should go away completely, even though the churner me wants them to come back with juicy SUBs. I’m no market analyst, but I don’t think most folks looking for 0 AF cards care about earning MR points, so it doesn’t make sense to have the Blue Everyday anymore. And any enhancement to the Blue Everyday Preferred would likely cannibalize into the Amex Gold singups. I think Amex is better off with their current setup between having Platinum and Gold cards for those who want MR. And for those that don’t care for MRs, Amex has some fantastic can back cards for them, with our without AF.
hope its not a refresh that makes it worse like Hilton Business – at least make it a one year keeper
Sorry, just saw the subtraction by addition. My bad.
Can we hope? Okay: (1) 60k SUB; (2) 3x restaurants and gas; (3) $5 Starbucks credit
New and improved! Your American Express EveryDay ™ card now comes with over $1,000 in value with a $3 daily dining credit at IHOP restaurants worldwide in the United States!
Just visit IHOP EveryDay ™ during a cardmember year to retain your dining credits at the end of your cardmember year.
All these new benefits and more with your new annual fee of $195!
Hahaha. Order 20 items or more in a single transaction and get a 20% bonus towards a rooti tooti
*Must activate the $3 credit precisely one hour before redeeming it. Credit applicable only towards purchases totalling at least $30, made on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Have fun!
FTFY.
This card is in dire need of a refresh. It’s just a boring card from the 2010s, and it takes up an Amex slot that charge cards don’t. Amex really shouldn’t count any of their own proprietary cards as cards for the 5 slots
They need to ditch the FX fees on ALL their cards. If Capital One, Discover and BILT can do it (among others), one would think that AMEX would step it up a bit. It just seems a bit petty for them to still have cards with FX fees. It’s AMEX for goodness sake.
They really should bring back the ZYNC card while they’re at it. It was ahead of it’s time.
