American Express has added family language to the Green card. Previously American Express has added this language to the Delta cards, Blue Cash Cards and personal Gold card. The green card now reads:
You may not be eligible to receive a welcome offer if you have or have had this Card, the Platinum Card®, the Platinum Card® from American Express Exclusively for Morgan Stanley, the Platinum Card® from American Express Exclusively for Charles Schwab, the American Express® Gold Card or previous versions of these Cards. You also may not be eligible to receive a welcome offer based on various factors, such as your history with credit card balance transfers, your history as an American Express Card Member, the number of credit cards that you have opened and closed and other factors. If you are not eligible for a welcome offer, we will notify you prior to processing your application so you have the option to withdraw your application.
I’m somewhat surprised the green card wasn’t just always included in this language.
Because you need family to get a “Green Card”…. right right
Amex is really sick of sub chasers.
fuck em fuck amex reap the rewards
Im with you. The banks have pillaged us enuff. Any chance to take advantage of these greedy whores, one should take it.
It says “You may not” not “You will not”, so does that mean there’s some wiggle room?
Correct. SOME wiggle room. I was able to sign up and get a business hold bonus with that language but so far all other cards I have tried with that language have given me the pop up
So officially green personal > gold personal > plat personal is ideal sign up sequence.
Can you still get green biz SUB if you have plat and gold SUB?
Yeah my question as well….I havent gotten any of the plats/golds and been holding off so I can start in sequence to take full advantage
Why would anyone want a Green Business card when BBP is the better option? 🤔
Was planning on cancelling Plat and Gold then sign up for Green later this year. But I guess I’ll just move away Amex instead 🙁
While P2 & I have been in popup jail for a while we still have received nice SUBs over the past 18 months via login popup offers (Biz Plat, Biz Gold, Biz Plus, 60k checking, etc) and mailers (Delta, Delta Biz) so currently the family language isn’t affecting me much. Hoping the targeted offers continue but I do miss the P1<->P2 referrals.
I can’t help but feel that this is going to eventually be that once you get one bonus that it’s it you will never get another bonus from Amex regardless of the card you apply for.
Kinda what you get in the UK
Between these family restrictions and the popup jail, there’s hardly any chance of me getting any Amex card again…
