Amex EveryDay Preferred Credit Card

• CLOSED to new applicants as of September 25, 2024 - if you don't already have this card, stop here, because you cannot get it.
• If you DO have it, think hard before closing it: grandfathered cardholders keep their Membership Rewards earning and original benefits, and walking away likely costs you account history and any MR points tied to the account.
• It earns Membership Rewards points, which is genuinely one of the more flexible currencies out there - MR transfers to airline and hotel partners mean the points themselves aren't the problem, whatever the card's other quirks.
• NO welcome bonus is currently disclosed - this page exists for people who already hold the card, not as a reason to go hunting for an application link that doesn't exist.
• Annual fee and foreign transaction fee details aren't publicly confirmed for this card - your original cardmember agreement is the source of truth, not anything you read here or anywhere else.
• NO earn rates are currently disclosed publicly either - if your spending categories and multipliers matter to you (and they should), dig out that original agreement.
• The honest framing: this is a reference for existing cardholders wondering whether to keep it, not a pitch - and the answer is almost always "yes, at least until you've thought through what closing it actually costs you."
• Your Membership Rewards points include complimentary access to point.me's award-search tool (point.me/amex) - handy for spotting transfer sweet spots before you move points.

The Amex EveryDay Preferred Credit Card is grandfathered — American Express closed it to new applicants on September 25, 2024. Existing cardholders continue to earn Membership Rewards points and receive their original benefits.
