cancelled my card, for better or worse
I anguished over this, but I cancelled my C1 Venture when the annual fee came due. I really liked the card, but couldn't justify paying the annual fee when I can use the Chase Sapphire Preferred for my everyday card. Plus I wanted to be able to reapply for this card if they offer any bonuses in the future.
MM-are you finding you have a lot of free time on your hands now that the Mint is being so uncooperative?
