It's just bad news all around. The only reason I was holding on to my Forward was because I was charging a nominal amount every month to get the 100 TY points benefit (...and b/c I couldn't product change to anything else). With the TY Preferred there's just nothing to write home about. I'm not too invested in the TY points system, but since I pay no fee for the TY premier and I also have an old Citi Professional with a good CL I'm going to keep hanging on. They've also been steadily adding transfer partners, which could eventually make TY points a bit more valuable for me.
