With the revenue change at AA -- meaning, that we now need to do a lot of ticket spend in addition to accumulating EQMs in order to attain/maintain status -- the value of the Silver Aviator card had dropped precipitously for me. May be the time to let it go, although I appreciate the reminder (mallomar) that I may want to use the companion certificate before then.
Also, the 3x1.6 = 4.8 cents on AA tickets from the Citi Prestige covers the loss of the 3x AA miles from this card.
Next month or whenever my fee for the Silver hits, I'll see if this (declining value of EQMs) is on their radar re retentions.
Gosh, the AA thing has me unwinding my total FT portfolio!
