If this is true (I live in Sweden and haven't received any info either) it really sucks! But if you can earn lounge visits by spend on the card as Svantevit says, then I might hang on to it anyway... it depends on how high the spend threshold is, I guess.

Today I mostly put my spend on my Amex, with the Diners and MasterCard as backup when it isn't accepted. But there are few places that accept Diners but not Amex, except for IKEA. But I guess I should make enough purchases per year at IKEA to earn a couple of free lounge visits and make the card still worth keeping in the wallet. As longe as the annual fee is still waived for EBG, of course.
