anix's review: 
After having the Zync for a little over a year I applied for a Delta Gold Skymiles and was approved for 6500. 3 days later I applied at Costco for this card upon signing up for membership and was approved for 1200. I imagine I'll be using this card more often than the Delta Skymiles but I'll keep both. I prefer simple rewards redemptions so this card will be perfect for that. At the time of approval my EX score was around 668. The only baddie was a late pay that had just turned 2 years old. I think being an Amex charge card user for a year helped my approvals for the revolving cards.
Although, not the absolute best rewards card available, it is still pretty good for those who may qualify.

Your history with the Zync did play a factor in approval. Amex looks at internal/external factors when making a decision.
