Same. I was planning to "buy and hold" the Trifecta, but without the bonus on the Gold I'll put my restaurant and grocery spend elsewhere, and if they still decide to give me a targeted offer with a bonus down the road I'll take it. But this change tells me not to bother putting any more suboptimal spend on my Platinum in order to get out of PUJ for the Gold. Until I start working on my next SUB, wherever that is, the spend goes where it gives the best return, plain and simple.
