What to do about branded credit cards?
Forgive or re-direct/align if this is already here somewhere, but I didn't see anything in the fora so far.
With the Starriott merger now done, I find myself in the position of having potentially 3 membership account #s (old SPG, old Marriott, new combined).
I also have an SPG Amex pointing at the old SPG # and a Marriott Visa pointing at the old Marriott #.
A tad concerned points/spend from CC spend going to get garbled a bit.
Anyone have any insight or advice as to what, if anything, needs be done?
Do I (and others) need to go into the cards and change the account # to which they line up?
Is there any appreciable benefit to having both cards, or should I kill one or the other?
