American Express Optima Card

[andrea t]

Now that Amex Delta is discontinuing double miles on groceries, I will discontinue Amex Delta. Amex Optima used to give double miles on groceries. Anyone have this card and know if it still does? Thanks.

I had an Optima card a long time ago. I am not sure they still issue the Optima card, but I may be incorrect.

American Express


In 1987

American Express introduced the Optima card, their first credit card product. Previously, all American Express cards had to be paid in full each month, but Optima allowed customers to carry a balance (the charge cards also now allow extended payment options on qualifying charges based on credit availability).

Although Optima is no longer heavily promoted, Optima and Optima
Platinum cards are still available on the American Express website.

Your Optima Card includes the choice to pay in full or over time,
transfer balances, and has no annual fee. (Membership Rewards)

still around

I had an Optima card a long time ago. I am not sure they still issue the Optima card, but I may be incorrect.

I just switched from the Optima card to the Blue card a year or two ago. It's still around. I'm going to switch from Blue to Clear now. I meant to switch to the Clear, but I remembered that it was a color, and I said the wrong one.
