Not biting on the new BOA AGR MasterCard because I've had some issues with BOA in the past and not eager to repeat the experience. Will stick with my Amex HHonors and CapitalOne QuickSilver Visa. I've stopped using my Chase Amtrak MC and will keep the account going only until I'm sure the last bill payment has cleared and my AGR points have posted.

To AGR's credit:

It's a MC instead of the rumored Visa card (I try to just have one of each)
There's a no annual fee version
Unlike Chase AGR there's an EMV chip (although someone posted Chase is rolling those out)
Unlike Chase there's zero foreign transaction fees. Impressive since many card issuers only give that on their top tier high annual fee cards.
The fee version card has some enhanced AGR benefits the Chase card did not have.
