At this point, these are just rumors. However, as someone that holds 2 Aspires and is working on getting a 3rd one at the end of May, I hope they hold off.

It looks like they may be eliminating the Resort credit, breaking up the airline and hotel credits into $50 quarterly credits, and increasing the annual fee to $550.00.

It'll also be interesting if they add a monthly Lyft benefit, considering Amex partners with Uber, though Hilton has a partnership with Lyft.

That would suck, but I am sure it is coming. Doubt I would be keeping this card if what is shown above is true.
