I just got approved for the citibank AAdvantage card and have pretty much decided to cancel my amex preferred rewards gold. I got it for free for the first year and used it for about 12,000 in purchases getting me somewhere around 18,000 miles, but at 130$ a year I don't think I can justify keeping it. I did a search in the archives and found a card poll and found out almost everyone carries an amex charge and I just wanted to find out if I was missing some reason that I should pay the 130$ and keep it. I am a full time college student so about the most I will charge on it a year is 15,000 or so, which is why in my opinion the AAdvantage world card made more sense at only 50$ a year, plus lately amex's customer service is leaving something to be desired.
