Rob’s Disney Premier card is about to suffer the same fate that mine did back in May of last year. And we are not new to this turn of events. Back in June, 2015, American Express canceled my Hilton Honors card. That same month, Citibank canceled my Citi Hilton HHonors Visa card. Now Chase is planning […]

I Am Downgrading Rob’s Bank Of America Premium Rewards Credit Card To The No Fee Travel Rewards Version
Recall that last year, Rob got the Bank Of America Premium Rewards Credit Card when it debuted with a 50,000 bonus point offer. Fast forward, the $95 fee has become due again. For those of you with not many cards, this card may be worth the fee as there is a $100 Airline Incidental Statement Credit annually […]
I Am Canceling My Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Card
Having just received the bill for the $85 annual fee for my Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Card, I knew I wasn’t going to pay this fee. I called Chase to see if they would make me a retention offer. They didn’t, nor would they downgrade the card to a no fee version. I therefore opted […]

Just under a year ago, I got the AAdvantage Aviator World Elite MasterCard with a 60,000 American AAdvantage Miles. Fast forward, the $95 fee on the card is due this month.

I Am Canceling My U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve Visa Infinite Card
Remember last year, after a lot of planning I secured the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve Visa Infinite Card. I met the minimum spend and received the 50,000 bonus offer.

An American Express Rule That I Just Learned About
I often tell you that before you cancel a card, see if you can move your credit line to another card that you already have from that same bank. I always do this before I cancel cards. However, I hit a snag in recently trying to cancel a bunch of Amex Hilton Honors cards. Although […]
I Am Canceling Some Of Our Amex Cards To Be Ready To Take Advantage Of Some Bonuses Coming Later This Year
As I recently posted about, Chase and American Express will offer new co-branded credit cards later this year as a result of the the Marriott/SPG merger. Unfortunately, I am above 5/24 and will likely not be able to take advantage of any new Chase cards at first. However, I am poising myself to be able to […]
I Downgraded My Chase British Airways Visa Signature Card To The No-Fee Version
The annual fee on my Chase British Airways Visa Signature Card just became due. I no longer use this card and haven’t in years. I had originally gotten it a long time ago when we were planning a trip to London. Back then, it helped me save about 12K on our British Airways business class flights. Later, […]
It Was Good While It Lasted-Farewell To My Amex SPG Card
Having just received the bill for the $95 annual fee for my Amex SPG card, I knew I wasn’t going to pay this fee. I called Amex to see if they would make me a retention offer like they did the last time I went to cancel my SPG card. They didn’t! I therefore opted […]
