Are there no longer any Chase MP "gold" cards? This is one of the cards I've held for more than a few years and I was planning to hang on to it - for sentimental reasons (was probably my first "gold" card that made me feel prestigious, even though I know it's just a pice o' plastic), and also to maintain a card with a long history (helps the credit rating stay high).

I believe the "Gold Class" card had an annual fee - but also provided some nominal extra benefits. There's no mention of an annual fee with the replacement "gray" card. Now I'm wondering if it's worth keeping the replacement - I've got 4 or 5 other Chase cards so I could certainly live without it.

Anybody else miss the "gold" MP cards?
