Next annual fee loads in September, so still mulling it over.

Thoughts?
There are some work arounds on this but as above if you are 1K it shouldn't matter. I like the ability to get a CPU with a mileage award ticket If you hold the Chase Card as well, while it becoming less common to get upgraded it has happened to me a few times. Always a nice surprise.
