I'm in the same situation as all of you. I did about 10k a month prior to the change in terms (had been with SunTrust for over 10 years). When confronted with the change in terms, I noted that my annual fee had hit already. Called up to inquire about any (partial) refunds if account were closed but SunTrust does not believe in that I guess. So for now, I'm afraid only two options are to go with the 2k I miles per month or bring my daily balance up to 25k and get up to 4k in miles per month. Pretty worthless either way though.

If you pay the fee, my calculations is the cost would be 0.5 cpm. There are much more lucrative ways to use that money in my book.....

It should be. I was billed $75 last month. I'm happy I have the Balanced Banking acct which only needs a $3k min balance. Obv. not happy with 2k a month in Skyrubles, but hey, the 20k I'll earn before I close my acct next May is worth $75. I won't keep it past this year.

@sbbi: You are correct, the annual fee charged was $75. Should have stated that more clearly, sorry.
Other alternative I thought of: If there is a debit card out there that allows you to earn Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) hotel points, we could use that one to earn SPG points. SPG and Delta go hand in hand and SPG allows you to convert hotel points to Delta skymiles (something along the line of 20k in SPG for 25k in miles). Just not sure if there are any SPG debit cards out there.

That doesn't exist. After ST and UFB, I think the only options are debit cards that earn cashback. (Maybe someone is grandfathered on an AS BOA card, but that might be dead too.)
