How many of you are thinking about closing your premium credit cards (CSR, Amex Platinum etc) considering lack of ability to travel and dine out?

Amex plat gives you $40 credits a month till December 31st for streaming and wireless services, that’s totally of $320 and uber eats credit.... why cancel lol

Amex is doing streaming credits and phone bill credits that makes it break even so I’m fine keeping it I think

I didn’t even think about this, but should I be 🤔

I thought about it, but I'm just waiting for them to provide some benefits or reduced fees.

Not really worth the hassle or hit to my credit or losing the history when it comes down to a few $100 I can afford.

I'm assuming my hotel cards will still be worth it if they let me rack up the night certs. And I'm assuming the travel and dinning cards will do reduced fees, and I'd rather wait to decide the best way to transfer my points.

If I was expecting to pay more than $300 in fees, I'd probably wait until a week before the fee and then cancel the card if there was nothing done by the CC company to make it a good deal for me.

As long as I have a decently paying job, I’ll retain both

Not canceling/closing accounts but switching my purchases to a cash back card for now.

Why would you consider cancelling Amex plat? They provided $320 streaming and wireless credits and a $200 amextravel credit valid till next year and that’s on top of the usual $200 Uber Eats credit, $200 Airline credit and $100 Saks credit

So even if you forego the entire $200 airline credit which most people should be able to use later this year, it’s still a great deal!

$100 SAKS credit??

Already did. Kept Bonvoy Brilliant but only because I’ve been reimbursed the travel credit already.

Chase sapphire has 5x points for grocery shopping since many of us are spending lot more on grocery lately.

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate. However, their version of refinancing student loans has changed in the last couple years so now they offer you a personal line of credit. Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age.

I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
