Goodby Amex Gold - 32+ years

This was my first-ever credit card, and I've been hanging on to it for sentimental reasons (I haven't even used it since I got my SPG Amex card a year ago, courtesy of all the FT wisdom). Saw the $150 renewal charge hit the account today and said, "Whoa! Enough Already!" so called Amex and cancelled (after liiquidating the few MR points left in the account). The MR card is too expensive, and the targeted promos too targeted, to be worth anywhere near a buck and a half. Compared to all the other affinity cards out there, this one is definitely showing its age!
