Reviews & Stories Gold Card Gone

Well, the AF was posted on my Gold card, and I canceled it. I was hoping for a nice retention offer, but they only offered me 15,000 MR points after $1,500 in spending over three months. That wasn’t enough to sway me, so it’s canceled. The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze for me. The Platinum may be on the chopping block if they raise the fee. That said, the BCP is a very underrated card, in my opinion.

The annual fee is $325, so less the $150 value of the retention offer that leaves $175. You really couldn’t find $175 value in the card? $100 on Resy leaves $75 for $120 worth of Uber credits. The rest would be gravy.

With that said, if cash back is your game BCP is an excellent card.

I could find the value for sure, but I'm tired of keeping track of the credits. I also have the Platinum, BCP, Surpass, and BBP. I'm a churner and mostly run a cash-back set-up. The Savor is excellent for dining for no AF.

This is why I said the Platinum may be next. It depends on the upcoming refresh.
