Will Amex Refresh the Green Card? + Potential No AF MR Cards & BBP Hard Pull Inquiry

Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking about getting the Amex Green Card, but I also wanted to hear some opinions on a few things related to Amex’s lineup. Given how Amex has refreshed some cards and discontinued others (like Cash Magnet & Everyday), I’m curious about what might happen next.

I wanted to see what you all think about the future of the Green Card, potential new No-AF MR cards, and whether the BBP card triggers a hard pull. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Here are my questions:

  1. Do you think amex will refresh the Green Card in the next 2-3 years? If so, what do you think will be the benefits and the annual fee increase to?
  2. Given Amex removed a few cards (Cash Magnet, Everyday), do you think American Express will introduce new cards without any AF that could also earn MR points?
  3. If you don't travel a lot, can you justify the green card AF even if you just use the CLEAR once a year, and only getting Green Card the sole purpose of MR Points?
  4. Does American Express do a hard pull for their Blue Business Plus card, if you have a Credit Card with them (I currently have Hilton Honors no AF)?

Thank you!
