I was told my spg can be downgraded but not the bcp. Has anyone had any experience otherwise?
Getting the BC is a downgrade? That is pretty funny. There is a thread at FWF and FT that should have the answer but I have not had time to check them.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

This has been by far my favorite card.
The recent $5 off 25 @BP was especially cool...
Buy discounted gift cards from me.

Its cash back, not MR

Sorry for being naive but the idea is to make about 20 bucks per VR and all your grocery shopping is just gravy? You would be making about $200 a month (10xVRs) minus the months you have thresholds to meet.

You applied for the card or had them convert it from another card?
When did you apply / convert?
Asked for expedited delivery?
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

Applied for new card night of 12/31.  No conversion, no other flavor of Blue Cash.  No request for expedition... (think that usage is correct :) ).

whats the difference with this card and the previous Blue Cash Preferred (* Up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1%). Cash back is received in the form of Reward Dollars that can be redeemed as a statement credit) does that mean my card doesnt have the same benefits anymore starting jan 1?

Previous card - AF, CB up to $6K, then capped at 1%

This (grandfathered) - no AF, CB .5%/1% up to $6500 spend, then 5% no cap..............

Due to a PC, I would assume spending would restart and you'd need to hit the 6.5K before 5% kicks in...
