If that's not bad enough, they said in a couple of days ONLY Chairman cardholders will be able to redeem for the old rates.


So REDEEM RIGHT NOW.
So, it means that come next week and only Chairman card holders will be eligible for the higher cap, correct? If so, then I really have chance of being eligible for the higher cap. Didn't really expect such a behavior from them. They are playing dirty! I am loosing faith (whatever little was remaining) in them. I think I am done with them. I have given them enough business over last several years and its sad to see such a situation. Time to move on and look for another card provider that would value my business.
