Wonder if I will get the old card back when my spending isn't as much this year. I like the look of the old one better. This one is so plain that it almost looks fake.
I usually put about $25,001 on the card -- get the bonus and then switch cards. (Although in most years that usually happens by February or March). I got the new card, too, so I am sure it is not just a strict $30k trigger.
BTW I never understand why they don't just give you 10k miles per $25k spend with no limit. I'd spend way more than I do on this card (or the BOA card) if they did that. Instead I just switch to better miles cards once I hit the limit on elite miles.
