Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. Over the weekend, I reviewed my recent American Express credit card statements and spotted some major and minor changes to the terms.

Usually, whenever American Express makes a change to their program, it usually benefits American Express more than their cardholders.
In this month’s updates, there are some major and minor changes. I reviewed the changes to my American Express Blue Cash Everyday Credit Card and there are some changes that affect cash back credit cards. I also reviewed the changes to my American Express EveryDay Credit Card that earns Membership Rewards Points, and there are some changes there too.
