Have been a long term Personal Platinum holder for 10+ years and just got the Schwab platinum which should arrive tomorrow. My older card billing period closes on April 15 at which point I'll get my annual fee added so I want to close it before then. There's one offer I have linked to the older card which I intend to use in the next day or two (oddly I didn't get the same offer on the new card) but once that's done I plan on closing the account asap.
Any gotchas I should be worried about? I'm presuming once I've got the new card activated I can transfer the recurring billing, close the old one and pay it off. I shouldn't have any problems with my existing MR points as they should just carry over?
