I got a letter in the mail last weekend from AOPA..
1 point for every dollar spent regardless of location or product,
2 points for aviation stuff you used to get the discount on..
only about 20% of charges to the card qualified for the discount..
so now.. no cash back.. but points that can be redeemed for cash and other
products..

MBNA -- raise the interest rates and cancel the rebates..

I haven't notice anything in the mail, but everything from AOPA other than
the magazine goes directly in the trash... Seems like everything else is
from their Legal Services group wanting me to join... I did notice a letter
within the last couple of weeks where MBNA raised my credit limit to around
$39K... Interesting since the only thing I ever charge on the account is my
AOPA membership and fuel purchases when I'm out of town... In other words,
*very* little gets charged on it these days... A few years ago, I charged my
engine overhaul on it and as such, it was worthwhile... If they get rid of
the rebate, I'll probably be tempted to cancel the card... Since the AOPA
membership is discounted with the card, I'll probably cancel it also...
Seems like I don't get a chance to read the damn magazine anymore anyway...
