Based on what I've read though, if you go the new card route your annual spend is not carried over to the new card, and in that case I'd never make it to the $25,000 spent level for 10,000 bonus MQM. Can anyone confirm this? Also, has there ever been a special promo for card upgrades? I can't recall ever seeing one.
Right. That's why I opened a new account early in the calendar year so I could still hit $25K spend. If I'm just short near year-end, hello US mint coins!
