I was this close to shutting down my Ritz card but the Visa Discount Air benefit tipped the balance in favor of keeping it. Next they will start cutting back on the priority pass benefits.
I had my CSR fee post 25 days ago (old fee) but I'm canceling. Time to stick it to the man.
If you have an EZ pass you can charge $300 to it to get your travel credit then cancel... That's a good stickin' it to them. Agree on the PP thought, let's not talk about that possibility.
edit to add: At the same time of all the drops of benefits, perhaps the best card for earning just came up, and an amazing redemption opportunity is available for the time being. Not great for people gaming the system, but great for people that actually put alot of spend on cards (citi DC and turkish is what I am referencing). I can spend 22.5k and get a business class ticket to anywhere in europe, its been a long time since anything was that good/easy.
