I couldn't find the old thread (I suck at searching) so am starting a new one.
I was on the phone w/AMEX and remembered to ask about what happens next April when their relationship w/Costco terminates. According to the rep, you will need to apply for the 'Blue Everyday Card' (I think that's what she called it). No automatic switchover. She looked at my account and stated that I have an 'offer' out for the card. Told her I have enough cards, so these cc offers, when received, go to the shredder .
I'll check into it when we get back from vacation as I want to continue with that cc in my name rather than DH's. However, now that I'm retired, I doubt they'll give me the $35K limit I have on the Costco card. I was hoping for an automatic switchover, but no such luck.
We have a Fido branded AMEX in DH's name, however, it doesn't offer that enhanced car rental insurance benefit that the Costco card offers and that's why I want to continue with that type of AMEX card. It is especially good for int'l car rentals which we do regularly. And the $20 per rental cost can't be beat. The Blue card does offer that benefit.
