Ain't got new Fido card yet, nor new Costco card; setting aside an afternoon to be online switching all autopay accounts from old Fido Amex. Next week, looks like.

I received my new Costco Visa over two weeks ago. I also noticed that Amex won't take any more online bill paying submissions after tomorrow 6/19/2016.

Anyone requesting their rewards (2% on purchases) check from AmEx? Is their a good reason to accept this new Costco Citi Visa if I already play with Visa?

Mark

Any good reason? You ask a good question Bee. My answer is that it depends. How's that for wiggling. Anyway I've been playing the same mind games and juggling the benefits of holding just one Visa card over another. For me it comes down to which one gives me the most cash rewards on the things that I purchase most often. For that the Costco card wins hands down. However I won't be using it often when I travel out of the country as another charges much less in foreign transaction fees. We'll see if my senior brain can remember to process that info when the time comes.
