Unfortunately my AMEX Green card is by far the oldest card in my wallet, so I really don't want to cancel it. Otherwise I'd take your advice for sure! And while it's one thing for AMEX to say that as a current MR card holder I'm not eligible for a bonus if I upgraded to a Gold or Platinum card, it's ridiculous for them to deny me the full bonus on SPG or Hilton HHonors cards (neither of which I've ever held before). Guess that's why I have Chase Freedom, CSP, and the UA MileagePlus VISA in my wallet, but no Starwood or Hilton card. Punishing loyal users who are NOT into card churning is backfiring on them.
