I keep reading the slate of benefits, and I don't need free bag check, etc, and the 5k bonus after spending 10k is ridiculously cheap IMO. We're basically losing the 2k anniversary bonus for a higher annual fee.
Isn't Barclay's known for being churnable? Either way, canceling before the conversion might be a good idea.
I wonder how long we have to wait or if we have to wait at all to apply for the new version and get the sign-up bonus?
