Bad news

Bad news today. Annual fee of PRG UK Amex rising to £140 from 22 July 2015.

More annoying is that the double points for travel will only apply to airline spend from 22 July. I've made nearly all of mine from trains. I won't miss hotels and taxis, though. They never tracked properly.

The double points on foreign currency goes from excluding internet purchases to including all non-sterling spend, BUT there's still nothing like the no foreign exchange fees that the US cards get, so not sure now useful that benefit is compared with using a no-fee card.
