I have confirmed with CSR that with the Chase Ink Bold, you will receive 2 free airport lounges Per Year. Afterward, it is $27 per visit.

I would like to keep either the Chase Sapphire or Chase Ink Bold so I don't pay double the $95 annual fee.

Wouldn't the best strategy be for me to cancel my Amex Plat card when the annual fee comes up, keep my Chase ink Bold for the UR and airport lounge passes and downgrade my Chase Sapphire preferred to Sapphire?

I plan to apply for the Chase Freedom in several months.

Does anyone know if one can receive the 25k bonus miles for the Chase Sapphire card when one already has the 50k bonus miles for the Chase Sapphire Preferred? Does Chase considered both a Different Card for bonus miles?

Also, if I do cancel the Chase Sapphire Preferred, would I be able to make everyday purchases like I do with the Sapphire Preferred on my Ink Bold? If so, would this be a red flag for Chase?
