Well the purge of useless cards have begun in preparation of fine tuning my portfolio. First up, BCE. Unfortunately Sallie Mae has totally made this card useless to me. And rather than keep it sock drawered, I just decided to close it. I only got it in the first place because I was going to close my old Delta Gold before the fee became due and transfer my $25k limit to BCE which is only $2k. However, I later learned I could simply pc to HHonors which I did. One less card to manage! YAY! Next up Diner's Premier! Smiley Wink


Baller? Should i take your Temperature? Are you alright?. Smiley Very Happy Don't say you are even thinking about closing the DinersClub. Yikes!!!!. As im waiting to get the elite. There is not way it is affecting you. Not AAoA or anything else. Im just checking.

Good call.  No sense paying that kind of money for something you don't use.

Re: RIP Amex BCE

Thanks JonE. August 1st I can request another cli on HHonors if I choose. Will probably request $30k and then be done with Amex.

That $95 is well worth the Hidden TL. Usage or Not. The Fact that you can Charge at will with no affect what so ever to your fico. says volumes. Its not like it is a regular Tl. so pony up. save the pennys. But pay.

Re: RIP Amex BCE

I regret mine too.  It's been nice carrying a balance on it for a while, but that free ride ends in two months.  After that, I don't have much use for it.  I originally thought I could PC it to the ED, but I can't.  It's not hurting me to keep it open though, and sometimes the Amex Offers are pretty useful.

Amex Offers is a great reason to keep a free Amex card open.

Well here's the thing. True it's a hidden tl. But I'm not feeling paying 13.5% apr on a card and I have a 8% Ring and a promotional 6.99% apr HHonors. So if I needed to carry a balance, I would do so on a much lower apr card. Or use the hidden RBFCU 8.90% apr ploc I'm apping in a few months. Smiley Wink

For sure the ring is a game changer as far as Apr and even promo apr is very good. if you got another hidden Tl. 13.15 is actually not that bad either baller. in my case it is not my lowest. but my Credit union card is 9.99. but wow. Bmo has been good to me. so im loyal. i maxed it out soon as i got it. and slow payed as well. always 2-8 times minimum. but they have never said a single word to me. keep in mind i only have 5k limit. but im sure lots of 20k to 40k limits is what i was thinking. I see you are really getting rid of the Af cards. What did you pc to get the hilton?. I know they will do the Delta as well to hilton if i want no AF card. and i may just do that when i hit 13 months in November. Will you lose your history when you Pc. or they keep the card number the same with the account number?
