Hey Rene,
I just got my Marriott Rewards VISA $85 annual fee waived, all thanks to you!
Robert
@Robert – well done! 🙂 So happy you are reading the blog! – Rene (PS I do hope you got the Marriott card from one of my links in the Best Point Cards folder 😉 )
Hey Rene, does downgrading a Delta Plat card to a no-fee Delta card prevent the 2-year “churn” cycle because the same account number is still open? Thanks.
@Ted – Maybe. Sorry I do not have a better answer. Some have had success and some have been nailed with, oh, well, you get just the difference between that card bonus and then new card. = Rene
