When I first heard the rumor/news about the higher AF for the CSR, I immediately applied for the new AMEX Green. Got it for a month now and already received the 45,000 bonus points.
Happy with the acceptance, as it seems AMEX has made a point of convincing all of my local businesses to do so (it was different a few years ago).
Chase is now relegated to occasional use and will downgrade later to FU. Not just due to the higher AF but also the gutting of Hyatt and United points. IMO, Chase needs to step up big and ASAP add VALUABLE transfer partners otherwise they will lose a LARGE part of the premium credit card user space.
