So I'm balancing between wanting promos and dealing with tracking headaches for coupon credits which I can't really use and when I need to cancel as I don't want to pay high annual fee on Citi strata/ aa cards when I won't really get the benefit.
That makes sense, and I'll take a mea culpa for being a bit too US-centric.
In some ways you are fortunate in that you have an easy decision when it comes to cancelling high-AF cards that play the coupon-book game. But AF makes sense for year one as the SUB is worth far more.
