Are the point regular Amex point? Can they be transferred to all participating travel partners?
Pulled the trigger on the 6% grocery card… Thanks DAN!!
@Mordy:
What does cash back mean in your dictionary ?
Dan-
It should be noted that it will not actually “lock in” a lower rate. I currently have this card and got a notice that when my year is up the fee will be going up to $95.
@Mordy: No. Unlike Chase, with amex these are pure Cashback cards that cannot be converted to MR and travel partners
Can I transfer my credit form my platinum card to this? Is there a new credit pull?
Is there a limit on the 6% cash back on groceries / 3% on gas?
@Yis1
– $6,000 annual limit on groceries.
– No limit on gas.
I am a current card holder of the blue cash preferred and my annual fee is coming up at the end of this month – can i renew now and save the $20 difference?
@cardholder: I chatted with them today – they were unwilling to lock $75 fee.
To note, there is the same card with no annual fee at all, offered by AmEx or Centurion banks. Not sure what it is, possibly bank membership required: https://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/cardmember-agreements/blue-cash-preferred.html#cma2
GREAT question cardholder! Dan, would you happen to know the answer?
Thank You MB! Hoping to get more information? Any additional information available?
