? $250 fee is a money loser for Amex for those who MS. 100K MRs a year is worth $1250 cash via Schwab - and quite a bit more if you can use transfer bonuses. $250 AF less $100 airline credit less $120 food credit. $30 to earn $1250+. And you cancel the best MS card in the market? SMH.
I plan to get as many Gold's as I can.
