That’s because you’re most likely a Canadian and have no US income. So it’s irrelevant for you.

But I need a black card, so if the Chase portfolio is one mid-tier card, it's a non-starter for me. If they have a black version, I will likely switch.
Same with me. I’m only interested in a black card.

UR transfer to AP is big news though. UA MP has gone downhill which has really hurt the value of UR points for me, and with AP now having no surcharges it's just a much better program for partner redemptions.
Same here. I’ll be under 5/24 by the time Chase and AC launch the new card(s).

I think what you’re trying to do is illegal.
