    I got the “Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® World MasterCard®” a year ago to rack up the bonus miles. As the second year is approaching, I called to close the account rather than have to pay the annual fee. I was then transferred to a very friendly account specialist, who of course, tried to persuade me not to close the account. First he offered me a $50 “credit” to offset the annual fee. I pointed out that the annual fee is $85, so $50 was not good enough. He apologized and stated that he thought the fee was only $50 (he checked and confirmed that it is in fact $85). He said he did not have the authority to give me an $85 offset “credit” BUT offered me 3,000 bonus miles to “think about” whether I would like to reamin cardholder, specifically stating that i could still cancel later and keep the miles. He said they will post in 3-5 days. I don’t know why they are so eager to keep me. I never have, and never will

    What is the best credit card to use overseas? Do they all charge an extra 3%?

    Sandy, try capital one. Not exactly sure about the card name but they didn’t charge 3%. a friend is currently using it.

    Okay, I’ve looked at all the credit card “offers”. I would like to feel that I’m an educated individual (others will debate this) and I can’t tell which one is the best offer. How do these offers compare to credit cards offered by the airlines?

    Capital One charges twice as many miles as Continental. We booked flights to Europe with Continental and used 75,000 miles. Capital One wanted 150,000 miles for the same trip. No hassle is really double the miles.

    I do not recommend the Chase United miles card. After years of paying on time one of my online payments didn’t post on time and I was charged a huge interest fee and late payment. I have heard of other card companies being flexible about at least waiving the late fee or offering something to keep you as a customer, but there was absolutely no flexibility on the payment being 2 days late. My customer loyalty wasn’t worth $150 so I cancelled the account.

    I have similar bad experience with Chase – United Credit Card: i always paid on time but one day, I tried to pay at around 8 pm in the evening on-line and the site told me that it will charge me some late fee. When I selected payment for the next day, there was not information for a late fee. But then the statement came and I had to pay both penalty and late fee. I tried to call customer service few times but none was helpful. My credit score got impacted by that as well. Similarly with the miles: I could not use the miles on the flight to Alaska, only domestic. Now, since my card is closed, my 20,000 miles are not enough for flight reimbursement but I can’t book hotel with them either because this service is for “active members only”. So disappointing…Chase will CHeat you.
