Yes but once it's in your dividend account there is nothing they can or will do
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I know it's scary when it actually comes to shutting it down but you have nothing to worry about I did it and so have many others without any problems

Are there other downgrade options besides arrival?

I specifically don't want the us air card.

 Is that considered the same card?  Regarding churning

Probably mentioned already, but for those that have multiple cards, just transfer the credit over.

The one on the back of your card should do.

Applied for the card a few days before the 50k offer came out. SM'd to be matched and was told it would be matched. Bill closed AF paid and only 40k posted. Was about to SM again and now see 10k in points earned this month. Weird. But glad i got it.

Just had a painless downgrade to Arrival- on the first call.  Rep said ok, let me look in to it.......I'll need to transfer you to a specialist. Specialist said sure, I just need to read you this disclosure.

Only a 1k bonus on first spend. Previously, on a downgrade, I got 10k after 1k spend.

Probably doesn't make a difference. Unless you have something you want to book with US miles, you can wait.

If I closed my US air card...When I apply for my new one should I put my US Air FF number in? or let them create a new account?
