That's what I was afraid of.

My other concern is that with the uncertainty around the merger, is it stupid for me to sign up as an Aadvantage member and get one of the Citi Aadvantage credit cards (replacing my Alaska Visa) right now? If I'm going to do this, I want to make sure I get all my EQM at least going into the AA bucket from day 1 of 2014 to maximize chance for status, but I don't like the idea of committing to a program without knowing what it's going to look like.......
