Okay - I have no patience or attention span. I flipped over to Amex version this afternoon. Minor things confirmed on the phone - no paypass fob thing yet

, Priority Pass is the same level as before, but they need to send us new cards for some reason, the hotel benefits (upgrades, discounts, whatever) are for Fairmount, Summit, Rockresorts, and Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and any revolving balances move over to the Amex.
My "invite" was sent out yesterday from Manhattan (using real stamps

), so y'all might get yours on Monday or later, depending on how long it usually takes to get a letter from here.
Now I get to find a new MC. ^
