What credit score do you need for this card? I’m a student that’s fairly new to credit. Would you recommend this card as a starting point?
Ricky, I was told finally today, Aug 16 (after waiting for the D day of Choice to Green card switch) that it’s not possible to transfer or combine the MR points from my Gold card to my Green card. If you’ve had a different result, please share.
This is my understanding as well, it looks like MR and MR Select were kept separate on the back-end for linking purposes, even though they’re effectively one and the same. The Green Card is therefore a good place to park the points from the Cobalt or Business Edge cards, but not from the remaining cards. I’ll update this article to reflect.
Ricky, my Gold card’s annual fee is up for July 23 this year, should I wait until the Green card comes out officially and switch and pay the annual fee in the in-between time? Or should I ask to switch to the Choice card first right away? Thanks for your insight.
Do you think that Amex is going to update the Gold card as now that the cobalt also earns regular MR points it is kind of lacking. I hope they up the earning rates and add a few Priority Pass access as that would create a larger difference between the two cards and make the Gold card more worthwhile.
I do think that’s fairly likely, yes.
Quite a contrast to US version of the Green card, which is my go-to card for travel and dining purchases.
love the option of using this to “park” MR points now 🙂
My parents have a grandfathered Green Card from way back. Would this means that it changes from a charge card to a credit card?
I wonder if this means the Platinum card will now have a downgrade path to a no annual fee card.
