Back to the original question, the Chase Sapphire Preferred now earns 3x on online groceries (i.e. order for curbside pickup or delivery). I suppose they did this to prevent gift card purchasing. I did make a purchase at Shop Rite for curbside pick up with the CSP via Apple Pay and I earned 3x.

So if it changed, it would mean that Amex started keeping records longer than 7 years (from some point on), not a policy change.

It was never a "policy". It was simply that Amex wasn't keeping records much longer than 7 years. And, btw, it was never exactly 7 years as far as we know.

I have no idea, and this thread about 3% on Grocery on the general Credit Card forum is not the right place to find out.
The thread about that seems to be:
Amex lifetime is really 7 years
but that's hasn't gotten new posts since March 2020. So I suggest you first read that short thread (which explains a bit more about Amex's record-keeping, etc), and if you you still have questions because of what sciconf wrote above here. you can quote what sciconf wrote above here in a new post in that thread, if you're interested in following this question up further.

The AOD FCU visa offers 3% on any purchase (which would inherently include grocery). As a smaller credit union their application process is a bit stringent (they want proof of income in two recent paystubs, government photo ID, selfie holding up a piece of paper saying AOD FCU) and they're a bit conservative as a lender (smaller limits to start, CLI is treated reapplying, min. $5K limit), but then again, 3% CB everywhere.

It may depend on the specific offer. Chase has been experimenting lately with making different offers at the same time on the same card, depending on when or where you see the offer.

I don't think Savor was mentioned. I just recently got the Savor card. 3% CB on dining, grocery, entertainment, and streaming. No AF.
However, a month after I got it, I discovered the 3% CB all the time AOD FCU card. I applied and I actually was approved for CU membership and Visa Signature. 3% CB on everything. I am so stoked.

I dont think its really a game changer when 4x and 5x is so easily attainable at grocery stores.

I just got this beauty. And now I will sock drawer my Citi DC (2% everything), my Savor (3% groceries, dining, entertainment, streaming), and my AARP (3% gas and drug stores). I am soooo stoked. I got the approval e-mail, the approval letter, but not the actual card. Hurry, hurry! lol.
$5k limit so I am a little bummed about that.
