Thanks for this! So do you think this is a better long-term credit builder than the SimplyCash? I guess you can always transfer MR points onto the Green as you churn Cobalts/Golds/Platinums…?
BTW, not to be pedantic, but Amex’s symbol is a Centurion and not a Gladiator. But then again, you don’t want to confuse it with the Centurion Card. “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?” meme in full swing…
Hi, you are spot on. It is a good card to serve as a “points parking” card for long run in the event you need to cancel your other MR-points earning cards. Also, that meme is truly viral 🙂
Is the amex MR to Flying Blue ratio really 1:0.75 because i have been seeing 1:1 or is there a discrepancy for amex canadian and US holders.
Worth flagging that the no fee aeroplan card is a good card to have to prevent Aeroplan points expiry
Good point, added.
Unfortunately I won’t be travelling much for work this year it seems. I don’t want to lose my air Canada/aeroplan frequent flier status. Are there cards that come with automatic status?
Only the US-issued Chase Aeroplan Card gives you automatic 25K status when you sign up.
My first card was the CIBC Aeroplan Student, which I got last summer. Just got approved for the Amex Green last week for the better earn rate, but I’ll be keeping the CIBC for car share purchases and preferred pricing. Looking forward to getting the Amex Cobalt and Amex Aeroplan in the future!
