Just under a year ago, Rob got the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard with a nice 50,000 Arrival Mile bonus. We used these miles to pay for our train tickets between Amsterdam and Paris this past December and saved $580 using his miles. Fast forward, the $89 fee on the card is due this April. […]

I Actually Didn’t Cancel Rob’s Chase British Airways Visa, I Downgraded It Instead
Recall that I just posted about that I was going to cancel Rob’s Chase British Airways Visa Signature card as the $95 annual fee became due. However, when I called, I learned that there was a NO FEE British Airways Visa, a card that is not offered to the public. I downgraded Rob to that instead. […]
I Am Going To Cancel Rob’s Chase British Airways Visa Signature Card
Rob has had the Chase British Airways Visa Signature card for years. I have had him keep it in the past because we have always managed to find a way to obtain the British Airways Travel Together ticket, and use it. It can come in somewhat handy when you are a family of 5 that enjoys […]
Citibank-You Are Ruining Some Of My Game Strategies
Just yesterday I posted about how I was going to cancel my Citi Hilton Honors card because it is being converted to an Amex at the beginning of the year and I want to be ripe for any sign-up bonuses that may come my way. So, when I went to cancel, I followed my own […]
I Am Canceling Our American Express Platinum Delta SkyMiles Cards
I just got back from an amazing trip to Italy with Rob. We flew BUSINESS CLASS and we booked the flight with Delta SkyMiles. Recall, I had enough miles for these flights because last year Rob and I both got American Express Platinum Delta SkyMiles Cards that added 60,000 SkyMiles to each of our accounts. Fast […]
So Long To Rob’s Gold Business Amex, Hello Blue Business Amex
UPDATE-I changed my mind, and Rob kept his Gold card and now he even converted it to the latest version. 4X points is quite worth it! Rob has had the American Express Business Gold Rewards Card for as long as I can remember. It has been quite lucrative for him in terms of […]
Chase Plans To Cancel My Chase Disney Premier Visa Card
It has been a while since a bank has canceled one of my cards. Back in June, 2015, American Express canceled my Hilton Honors card. That same month, Citibank canceled my Citi Hilton HHonors Visa card. Now almost two years later, Chase is planning to cancel my Disney Premier Visa card. Chase stated in the letter, […]
Don’t Cancel A Card Without Trying To Move Your Credit Limit
If you find yourself wanting to cancel one of you cards, heed this advice first. Before you cancel, see if you can move your credit line to another card that you already have from that same bank. (obviously, if you have another card from that bank) There are a couple of reasons you should do […]
I Downgraded My American Express Hilton Honors Surpass Card To The No Fee Hilton Amex
Last May, I got the American Express Hilton Honors Surpass card with a sign-up bonus of 100,000 Hilton Honors points. This May, the annual fee of $75 became due. I decided that this card is not worth $75 to me, so I downgraded this Hilton Honors Surpass to the NO FEE American Express Hilton Honors card. […]
Amex Did Not Give Rob The Same Retention Offer As They Gave Me To Keep The Amex SPG Card
The $95 annual fee became due on Rob’s personal American Express Starwood Preferred Guest card. He never uses this card because we use my Amex SPG Business card or my Amex SPG personal card when we choose to use a Starwood card. Recall back in March, my $95 annual fee on my own personal card became due and […]
