Re: Best SUB’s with No AF!

I rationalized our Valentine's Day dinner last night as being $150 off due to my SavorOne SUB. LOL.

The TD bank one is a good one. Might be my next free $150.

As long as there is a path to downgrade to a no-AF card, and the AF is waived the first year, why hold anything against an AF card?

 

QS - $500 when it was a Savor

Costco - 50k? miles when it was an AA Platinum Select

etc.

 

Some issuers are more flexible than others, of course. Barclays wouldn't let me downgrade my Aviator Red to a no-AF AA card, even though one exists.


Agreed. I would rather get the higher bonus, then just downgrade later if the AF doesn't work out well. Currently my AF's are offset, though I'm growing cautious of getting new ones with an AF.

Though I suppose one reason would be that not everyone has the spend to hit the typically higher MSR of some AF cards (at least without doing something counterproductive or inefficient).

Personal spend: Amex Gold, Amex Schwab Plat., BofA PR+CCR(x2), Costco
Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU
Perks: Delta Plat., United Explorer, IHG49, Hyatt, "Old SPG"
Mostly SD: Freedom Flex, Freedom, Arrival
Upgrade/Downgrade games: ED, BCE
SUB chasing: AA Platinum Select

I see on the IHG site that you're right, but when did they drop the $29 AF on Traveler?
