I received an email from American Express tonight. Here is part of it:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Regarding Your Blue Benefits...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please be advised that as of May 1st, the Best Value Guarantee
benefit will no longer be available on the Blue from American
Express Card. This benefit enabled Blue from American Express
Cardmembers to shop for the lowest priced items by refunding the
difference* between the item purchased and any covered item**. The
program will cease for purchases made with Blue after April 30, 2002.

Now you can comparison shop before making your purchase by shopping
at ShopAmex(SM), the online comparison shopping site from American
Express!

From books to CDs, toys to electronics, you can shop, compare, and
then buy from some of the best merchants on the Web - without ever
leaving our site!

* up to $250 per item
**advertised in print within 60 days of the purchase date.

<butthead> Uh, this sucks... </butthead>
 


<< see what happens when everyone rapes the system? and i do emphasize RAPE. >>



and i never even got to get a card yet :-\
 
So cancel your card.

And when doing so, make sure you tell them why and that you want notification in writing.
 
From looking on amex website optima platinum has the BVG and no fee. Some guy from dpreview said he called and upgraded his blue card and they said the BVG was not going away for the platinum card. Can anyone confirm this.

That does suck for those that have Amex Blue...

For those that don't..

At least the HotDeals forum will no longer be the
HotDeals If You Have AmEx Blue forum.

That got rather annoying.
 


<< At least the HotDeals forum will no longer be the
HotDeals If You Have AmEx Blue forum. >>



Maybe it'll be Hotdeals If You Have Amex Optima Platinum forum.

So this is for real going away?

I didn't even get to really use it yet. I clamed like a total of maybe $40-50. doh!
