I actually just cancelled my Amex Platinum and one big reason is that I got tired of being told 'Sorry, we don't take American Express'. I don't think it's ever happened in the US, to be fair, but it happens regularly in Canada and in Europe when I travel. I would love to do my shopping at Pusateri's and Whole Foods, but there's nothing like that anywhere near here.

I was planning on switching my MBNA SPG card to the new SPG card, but I just can't see doing it for this card unless it's free. I'll just have to start looking for a new credit card .
