Interesting.  I've been considering reallocating my CL from my AARP to my Disney Visa and Amazon Visa and closing.   But maybe I'll just reallocate and leave it alone, just in case someone did indeed buy the portfolio.


I just moved 4K from my AARP to Freedom just in case they sell this and if they are not taking new apps its highly likely. I really hope its not Comenity who gets it, they have minimum redemptions, if they do I would most likely just terminate the card. I do have others that cover that 3% on gas and restaurants (Alt Go for 4% and can choose one of my BoA Cash Rewards for 3%)


I followed your lead and transferred some of my limit to my 2 other Chase cards. Surprisingly fast customer service Smiley Happy I just think Chase is a higher quality outfit than any outfit to which this card is likely to be transferred.

That's a good point.  I also think it's highly likely that the CL would grow more easily with another lender.  

 

Last night, I sent an SM to move $5K over to my Disney Visa, and it was taken care of by the time I checked this morning.  I think I'll do another $5K over to Amazon and just leave $800 on the AARP.

Sad to learn that Barclays is getting the card.

AARP has signed a deal for Barclays to administer the AARP credit card from this point forward.

 

Chase has sold its portfolio of AARP cards to Barclays.

Or maybe Barclay will finally have a decent cash back card again.

This works out fine for me.  I currently have an SDed Uber Visa.  My plan would be to reallocate my CL from that card to the AARP card and close it out finally.

My Mother has this card.  I'm tempted to have her close it out immediately, but she only has 4 open tradelines.  Rather than make a rash decision, I will wait to see the new offerings from Barclays.

No thanks, not interested in anything from Barclays, will be terminating once they take it. Going to move the rest of its CL to my Freedom and leave it at the required 500
