Indeed and the actual procedure is much easier than it used to be (back in the days, there was an ad-hoc process/service called/handled by ‘Global Transfer’, where a dedicated account manager would get in touch and collate all the relevant details e.g. proof of address/income etc.). These days, all one needs doing is to apply in exactly the same way as if you would be requesting a new card and tick the box where you’re asked whether you are currently a cardmember (the card number is needed as well, needless to say). After that, you will just get the card sent to your home address without any confirmation from Amex. Note also that your current card will not be cancelled automatically (in a nutshell, you can keep it).
