(I would add that based on a personal experience with a university alumni affinity card issued by MBNA, I regard MBNA as pretty snakey, but I'm not sure all the credit card issuers do not qualify as snakey, and MBNA is getting out of the business anyway.)

Whenever something is "enhanced", it is usually from the perspective of the service provider, not the customer. It just sounds better than "we are changing the program to make more money off of you and give you less...enjoy..."
