That was certainly the case for the Premier card when Flight Points were eliminated last year; but we should all be alert to the fact that some cardholders reported difficulty with accurate FP matching against spend once the changes were in effect; and of course many of the Citi reps they spoke to were less than helpful
It seems like pulling existing FPs that users have already accrued would be grounds for some litigation against Citi...but then again, 80% of the time, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at that organization. I guess we'll just see how the chips fall.
