Gold charge card also affected
I'm mourning the loss of the points accelerator service on the gold charge card (you used to be able to pay an extra $75 on top of the $130 annual fee and earn 1.5 MR /$ instead of 1 MR/$). This was the perfect option for me because I wanted to maximize my points without having to pay for all of the extra benefits of the platinum card. Too bad AMEX platinum just isn't for me. I don't put enough on the card to justify spending $4000 over the next 10 years for the ability to earn an additional 0.25 points/$.
