All they had to do was leave me alone, but it seems that they are too stupid/lazy to even do that.

Odds that I will cancel the *wood Amex >= 30% and climbing.

CC companies, why won't you leave us alone?
Dont forget you earn 2 Stay credits and 5 Nights credit, so for those who are on their own dime and just do 25 Stays a yr, pretty hard to earn 2 stay credits for $95

I was all with hearing Forex will be gone, but not every place takes Amex and if anything it will be close to a wash with the added $30 to the AF.
the good thing is 6/1 my AF hit so Ive got a yr to decide and my personal card hit 5/1. Most likely I will keep the Biz card and KO the personal in '16. Hopefully before that happens Amex will up the ante making it worhwhile to keep both
