Don't cancel too soon.

pokee, saw your post above. Why did you cancel so soon? Or did you already carry the AeroPlus Gold for more than 6 months already? General rule is to not cancel any CC until it moves to a good R1 status in your credit profile, which generally requires about 6 months of card ownership (so I've been told).

Anyway, keep in mind that the current "Special offer" of 25K cold signup of the AeroPlan Plus Gold is expiring on July 14th (as per the standard Amex product page). As you've probably noticed, something usually 'happens' when a promo expires, so I would not be surprised if Amex removed all promos for the AeroPlus cards, and went back down to the standard 20K welcome level that we've seen them offer for this card for the past 2 years, till they started the campaign last Sept 2013, to pick up the Aeroplan customer 'scraps' while CIBC and TD waged their war over Aeroplan CC-affiliation.

Good luck.
