Finally, it's the free night that keeps me paying the annual fee. It's only $65 I believe, but I usually have a reason to use it at a property in the $199-249 every year. If none of those reasons apply to you - then cancel it and find something a little more in tune with your spending habits!
I havent used my CC at all in the past yr, got the renewal notice and GLADLY paid it. The best $65 deal out there.

Not only does it save me from having to stay the 15 nights they grant me but the free night cert 1-5 is worth alot more then the $65 fee. Now if either of these would be done away with then Id reconsider if its worth keeping

Still Plat but I dont use the CC the AMEX Biz CC has 5% back on alot of the CY,FI,RI,SHS, besides earning me SPG pts, and I loaded up in the past on the 10% off GCs and used a new Citi AA CC each time in order to get the 25k in Bonus Miles
