Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

If you have/had citigold, then the prestige seems worth keeping at $350 a year - $250 airfare reimbursement.

I feel the other benefits are definitely worth $100.

I've been able to get the Citi AA Plat AF waived every year since 2012, but I would keep it for the 10% AA rebate even if I didn't. Other than this and the Chase IHG, I don't think any cards are worth the fee for me.
how much spending do you do on it a year?

The first year, I hit min spend then forgot about the card. But since then, I've gotten the extra 1000 AA miles for $1000 spend per month, so I've been spending about $1000 most months since then.

What do people have to say about keeping a Premium UR card (SP or Ink) with the new tough rules for approval?

Definitely keep one. Sign up for another ink plus before you cancel sapphire.

DoC has one....
Unless he's made it less pathetic than the one I saw a while ago I'm not too worried.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Ink. SPG. BCP.

Ink and SPG have been elaborated on. For me, BCP makes sense as it also has protections and I will do 6k in groceries which yields me more in CB then the annual fee.
