I totally concur - it is a horrible move. I only have the card for the club level upgrades.

Edit:

[QUOTE=Governator;27024005]I'm a brand new cardholder (got the card 3 days ago). Seems like I got in under the wire, I have a Signature and the $395 fee. So I called in and confirmed I would get the new benefits (as well as the old). They said I would be enabled for Visa Air Discounts by 8/16. I would be grandfathered with same annual fee. Most important for me was they said I would be grandfathered for club upgrades as well, those would continue. Good news!

I asked about getting the 3 free nights/5K spend (vs my 2 nights/4K), they said they would likely be able to push that through as well.

So looks like best of both worlds![/QUOTE]


Oh that sounds like great news about the club level upgrade grandfathering.
