it seems to be rolling out now at https://global.americanexpress.com/c...all/amex-green

$100 CLEAR, $100 LoungeBuddy, 3x restaurants, 3x “travel including transit”, no FTF.

Seems pretty clear they’re trying to match up cleanly against the CSR on a checklist. Funny since Amex said when it came out that they had no interest in competing for unprofitable spend like that, but I guess they worked out the math by, oh right, not letting you turn the points into straight cash or a travel portal at good rates. (Yes, I know that with Schwab you can cash out nicely, but that’s another big step.)
