I normally would not post a link to a blog post on my site, but since there was a request for info about the benefits of the Old Ink Bold vs the New Ink Bold, here is a link to a post I did on that topic last month.

I too at first found it annoying they wouldn't just change my old Ink Bold to the new benefit structure, but I now am so grateful since this seems to be a new card I can apply for later this year and get the 50K again! Seems like a super simple explanation to the recon line (if needed) as to why the new benefits will fit my business spending patterns better.
Hope this helps some and good luck for any who apply for the New Ink Bold!
