I wasnt going to burn USB on the travel credit if I ended up cancelling the card but I do need to be able to redeem my points.
If you book through their portal with points, I can't imagine they will give you that 325 credit. Did you try it last year?
I don’t have any further travel that needs booked until at least July.
I need something that I can cancel so RTR is a must as they don’t reverse the RTR credit if you cancel it.
Havent decided if I'm going to reopen the Altitude under just my name yet. Will probably cancel and wait for Prestige anouncement before deciding what to do.
Some DP's regarding RTR since I just cashed out all my points.
You will get the RTR message even if you haven't used the travel credit.
Bought a single AA giftcard for $1500. This triggered RTR and I redeemed the points
then proceeded to buy a $137 AA giftcard for the rest of my points.
Will be leaving the travel credit alone as I dont really want to burn USB for the $325 I bank with them in case I ever want to apply for future products.
My experience is that both the Travel Credit and RTR can be covering the same transaction.
The method of applying them, however, is to have charges on the account since these redemptions work as a payment reducer.

Dang, $1500 blind? Takes some balls.

I did some reading but yes it was a leap of faith.
Even if it didn’t work out. I still would have used the GC in the semi-near future.
Update:
Ended up deciding on the CSR after crunching the numbers and reevaluating my points statergy. Had my fiancée take a HP from Chase for a $6500 CLI. Bumped the CSP over the 10K limit and did the PC.

Now you'll have another ~5,000 points coming up from the gift card purchases 
I was thinking about that actually.
If I close the account before the statement ends (which I have to due to 30 day AF policy ) any idea what happens to those points ?
