I'm sure it's been mentioned and buried but extended warranty benefit goes away next month which sucks

Uhh yeah I have an Amex, this is not true lol
·
I'm sure citi fought hard in the bidding process to beat Amex to get the Costco account. Part of the terms were probably to offer better benefits for the customer....

You can use any Visa to shop at Costco, right? I know right now it's still AMEX.
Yes I asked that yesterday and they said u can use any visa.
The costco AMEX wasn't a good deal for us customers i mean 1%CB on costco and 2% on gas.

Anybody knwo what happens with your AMEX? Will amex also convert you to another product, or do you need to apply for ANOTHER amex; hard pull and all?
AMEX is not going to send you a replacement card for your existing costco card. However, they send you a mailer to apply for a replacement card. They also email you that option: blue cash card, I believe.

Would I receive the new card if I am a Costco member but currently do not have the Costco Amex card?
No u will have to apply.
I asked them yesterday at the store and they said since I already had the card I didn't have to apply and will get one automatically.

My AX AF is $450, almost 90% of my non-concierge calls were outsourced. OTOH calls to/from Discover ($0 AF) are always handled by a U.S. rep.



Why would you decline the Costco Visa when Citi retains your account history and age, doesn't require a hard pull, AND gives 2% CB at Costco??

Perhaps he only had the AmEx because of Costco, and now more options opened to him due to Visa being more widely available. Something for everyone.

how is citi able to give these benefits and amex couldnot
The benefits are for this card for now, I would venture to guess they won't stay this attractive for long. I think the original AMEX benefits changed over time. Nothing stays permanent with Costco.

can you cancel the existing amex card now and still get the citi or do you have to wait to get the citi card first
That is what I did half year ago and wonder if I still get the citi visa card.

Of course you can. Just make sure you "shop at costco" and "have costco membership" from now on.

Quote from buzzman View quoted comment :
The 5% is misleading. Its 5x points, but when you want to redeem the points, the value decreased. So I'd say it's more like 4% rather than 5%.

By the way, Penfed Amex has 5x on airline ticket purchases if purchased directly from an airline.

Both cards do not have foreign transaction fee and I believe both have CHIP-and-PIN capability.
Penfed Amex is straight 5% on all airfare purchases. I don't think it has to be directly through the airlines

I'm just a single person, but looking at my spending last year across gas, restaurants, travel, and Costco, this would give me an extra ~$70/year. I'm definitely happy with this.

(Apart from quarters when Discover or Chase have better bonuses.)

I got the AmEx Blue Cash Preferred for the 6% on groceries, which pays for itself over the Blue Cash Everyday card if you spend ~$50/week at supermarkets. I didn't need an AmEx any more after Costco, but it occasionally has unique member offers so it's nice to have.

Quote from rsveteran View quoted comment :
Alrighty then. I provided information about two sets of numbers that show this hasn't been good for AmEx. Let's have you come up with one now that shows AmEx has/is expected to do well as result of the Costco account loss. Go ahead.
The switch to Citi is almost certainly based on the merchant fee that AMEX was charging Costco. Citi probably gave Costco an merchant fee rate that was lower thant AMEX was willing to go. If Warren Buffett is not worried abouth AMEX then I would not be worried. AMEX made $1 billion selling their $13.9 billion costco AMEX portfolio to Citi.
