Would suck if the Ritz Carlton went away as then Chase would not have a card that can potentially compete with the Bonvoy Brilliant. It would be good for them to keep just for that purpose.
Ritz is great for those that don’t have the venture X - still not bad for those that do given the 85k cert but they’re really only useful if you have two of them
I have Prestige, 2 IHG Selects, but not Venture One with that feature. I also have plain no AF Aviator, to which I was able to downgrade from Red. I was converted to Red from US Airways card, which was giving 10k miles annually, but then it was discontinued. Do you think it's worth to try to convert to Silver? I mainly fly AA, and I have AA Executive card. I just checked and I have an offer to upgrade to Red. Some other great discontinued cards, which I have: Citi AT&T Access More, Priceline 2x (3.33%), and Sears TYP. Sears is a real gem! I got SYWR card in 2018 and immediately converted to Sears.
The altitude Reserve is literally why I have kept my Samsung Galaxy s20 and when it dies I will probably replace it with a refurb because it's the last Model they made with magnetic tap to pay. And in my experience there are significant number of vendors that don't have NFC payments
Thanks Lawrence. How do you know that S20 is the last model that has magnetic tap to pay? I Googled it but can't quite find any source or reference supporting this. Thank you

Thanks for the info + video!
Over 20 minutes! I want my money back! /s Very interesting topic! Keep up the great work!
If Citi gets the exclusive credit card relationship with American, do you think that AA will become a transfer partner for the Citi Thank You points?

I also keep S20 Ultra, and don't want to get a new model.

@@Aidan_Au Yes, S20 and Note 20 are the last ones.
I still have the original CapOne Savor Card from when it was no AF for 4x on dining and entertainment. Keeping forever!
Cap1 will eventually product change for you. Bet.
@newagain9964 I hope you're wrong, but doubt you are.
@@Spinattitude good news is it may take years.
Is there a way to get targeted for the aviator silver offer? I saw it on my account a while ago, but it's not around anymore
Great video
