AOPA rebate gone?

I also got the letter from them and initiated the correspondence
reprinted below. I can't say as the end of the rebate comes as a total
surprise, given the bank consolidation going on and the fact that many
of us only used the AOPA card when it would generate a rebate.

The note from Ms. Adams says that it will be a 2% rebate on all
purchases. This does not correspond to the original letter, which says
1% for most purchases, 2% on purchases from a list of qualified FBO's.

Thank you for your email to AOPA. While you no longer will receive 5%
cash back from the FBO rebate card, the new terms provide for you to
receive 2% on ANY purchase you make - not aviation specific. You are
not limited in the amount you can receive annually and you don't have
to go through the "rebate process" like you have in the past. The
updated program was designed to provide you with more options and to
make it more user-friendly.

If you have questions about the new program, please don't hesitate to
call 800-872-2672.

I have just received a letter from you detailing the changes to my AOPA
credit card account.

In my opinion, the new rebate formula is far, far worse than the old.
Either
3% worse of 150% worse, depending on just how you do your calculations.

In either case, I don't like it.
