Agree - stated clearly - but will it happen. Will those of us with the Card and currently have over 90K LP - get an instant 20K boost on July 23rd? What if you have 50K LP from Barclay now?

I do like the Avis $120 credit - I assume it kicks in also on July 23. This almost pays the increase for me.

Will be cancelling the authorized user, since my authorized users always travels when I am traveling. So no need for the card.

Wonder what Barclay will do - as my AA tickets will switch from Barclay to Citi. I know most here charge all tickets to AmEx - so they likely will continue with AmEx for 5x.

More likely to spend the $175 for authorized AmEx Plat user - so they can get in AmEx lounge. AA will still allows guests.
