How to get out of Citi ThankYou Premier w/o closing card?
Hey folks,

With the end of the FlightPoints program , I'm looking to drop my Citi ThankYou Premier card and its $75 fee after nearly 8 years. I can't justify that fee anymore. (Even though I guess I'm saving $50 from the current fee.)

I would prefer not to close the account - since that would ding my credit score.

In my ideal magical world, I would convince Citi to switch me over to the Double Cash Card. I doubt they will let me.

What are my options for dropping the Premier card? Will they allow me to switch to the Double Cash Card? Could I drop to the preferred card?

Also - are either of those MasterCards? (The screenshots are unclear or visa... I need to have a MC)
