Just canceled my Amex SPG. Feel like Amex has given up on this card. Cancelation was done via auto voice interaction in less than 1 sec. Cant believe it

Plus, we are *required* to use Amex corp for all business related expenses. I know people switch out their Amex corp and still pay with Amex spg for hotels but i wanna be careful in case i get audited. Firm'd use any excuse to fire you

Makes sense given the sale to Marriott...

D1 if you do that you'll be hit with the annual fee.

Fair, D2

Why did you cancel?

Only had this card for a year, canceled before annual fee hits next week. Dont think there's a free alternative

@OP, I have had the card for over two years (second card I got after I graduated) never paid the annual fee because I always call and threaten to cancel and they waive the member fee+plus spg points when they see I charge in $800 hotel bill every week...also love their purchase protection, got me a new iPhone no questions asked when I cracked it.

A2: that auto voice msg wouldnt even get me to a rep, that's why i said Amex doesnt care anymore

They probably had too many people calling to threaten to cancel the card for retention incentive

Just read an article in Money mag ab this card - the APR on this is horrible. Sounds like a good move

EY1-If you're worried about an APR, then a rewards credit card is a foolish choice.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
