Seems to me that this card is getting pretty useless...

- rise of the foreign transaction fee from 0% (according to the letter that came with the card) to 3%
- the change in rules for the companion certificate
- and the best part: Last night my card got declined when I tried to buy something online in Germany for about 10 EUR...Hello!!! This is a credit card affiliated with a german company - a fair percentage of users will have (business) ties to Germany - and I'm definitely not going to call every time I need to pay something outside the US (although with the foreign transaction fee this might not happen that often anyway)...

Now I'm considering canceling it, even though I got the Premium version...
