Best time to apply for upgrade to normal Amex card

[bm_999]

Hi all, just wondering is there any best times to upgrade the amex that we have?

Not sure if gold or platinum is best or even maybe 1 of the barclaycards etc..

Thanks

Which card do you hold and which are you considering upgrading to. Barclaycard is not Amex, of course.

Sorry, should have been more clear

Me and the mrs have the normal blue american express credit card each

1 of us is thinking to upgrade to the next level or type available

What i meant of barclaycard is if the amex is not giving good avios etc. then maybe time to change card type as a friend of mine is getting 1.5 avios per £1 spend on his barclaycard

Chose the card that is best for you.

Yes your friend might be getting more avios than you but are they getting all of the cash back offers you are getting / going to get from AMEX?

Of course the biggest difference between the two is the 2-4-1 with amex but only the upgrade voucher from Barclays
