Yes! I cancelled my SPG and delta

Worth a shot calling Amex and trying to negotiate the annual fee down, but if they won't budge you have to be ready to cancel it

Depends on how much you value SPG points. You can't transfer Ultimate Rewards to SPG. I'm keeping mine to use for all SPG stays for the bonus points.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
