Guess I'm asking how often has the 100k promotion been offered (first time I've been aware of it) and do you think the past is prologue. Thanks,
This was the second time the 100k bonus was offered (last time late 2009/early 2010). Mrs User name and I both took advantage first time around and got 100K each. When it got to annual fee time I canceled mine in the hope that, at some point in the future, I'd be able to play again. It doesn't make sense for us to pay 2x annual fees for these cards as we won't have the opportunity (from a personal perspective) to take advantage of more than one 2-4-1 per year. Now I'm just playing a waiting game, although I expect to have to wait for at least a couple of years from the time I canceled.
