Amex Green Card Options
Thinking about getting the American Express Green Card mainly for the welcome bonus and to get into the Amex charge card ecosystem. The American Express Gold Card probably fits me better long term, but I’m considering Green first since Amex only gives one welcome bonus per card.
From what I understand, I could potentially upgrade Green to Gold later, but I’d probably rather apply for a new Gold card since the welcome offer is usually better than upgrade offers.
My main concern is what to do with the Green after year 1 if I don’t get enough value from it. Since there’s no real downgrade option below Green, what have others done? Cancel it? Keep it?
If you canceled the Green after the first year, did it affect getting Gold, Everyday, or other MR cards later? I’d open another MR card first so I don’t lose my points.
