3. Average monthly account balance checking and savings? Plenty
4. Volume of ms per month and how many months? 20-40K
5. Cycle CL? 2X max
6. Did you BP using both options? Nope
7. Did you spell out the bank's full name in an internet forum? Nope.

Had a recent dip in my credit score due to a boneheaded failure to pay a sub-$100 Disc@ver bill. That's the only variable for YEARS. Anyway, I'd considered ditching the Arrival+ after they neutered the earning structure back when, I guess they made the decision for me.
Sorry to hear it andy - probably the cycling CL IMO. Others have said it, but I have noticed from reading over time that the banks tend to focus on their own reward's program "units" more intently. With the newfound awareness out there about MSing, I think everyone should tighten up the belt abit...but that's just my opinion.
