They offer updated FICO scores with my other card through FNBO. I would expect the Amtrak card to be the same.

Some freight trains run on Thanksgiving. This is also an apples to hamburgers comparison. There's still some staff at the railroads to dispatch trains, run the signals, etc. on holidays. With the strike there won't be any of those staff, so Amtrak won't even be able to run on the tracks safely...

Doubtful they would do so automatically. Once that credit limit is tied to the card, it'll stay with that card even with the transfer to the new bank. At this point BoA may not be able to even adjust that limit. That said, once the transfer is complete you could request a credit line increase...

I'll quickly note that "The Points Guy" makes much of their money from referrals, so they'll often brag up cards more than they're really useful for. The biggest downside to me is that you don't get any of the ancillary benefits that you would with the cobranded card. So, for example, with the...

Some credit cards offer the ability to transfer points into other programs instead of strictly use them for cash back. For example, I have the Capital One Venture X, and I can transfer those points to different airlines or hotels. I've transferred my Capital One points over to Virgin Red and...

I still think it makes more sense to compare them to what's offered for cobranded cards, versus large bank cards with transferable currencies. The cobranded cards are meant to build loyalty, not just maximize points earnings, and offer many carrier-specific benefits that the bank cards with...

None of the cobrand cards for the 4 largest US airlines (Delta, United, AA, and Southwest) offer a non-airline bonus category that earns higher than 2x, at least when I took a quick look today (including checking both banks that offer AA cards.) There are some credit cards that earn 3x or higher...

Wouldn't it be the responsibility of BoA (or Amtrak) to post any points on the BoA card? The question would likely be better answered by one of them.

I already have the no annual fee one as well and plan to keep it, even if I don't use it much.

I wonder if the render just doesn't show the World logo/text. It would be bizarre for them to not want to get the higher interchange fees from a World MC, especially since they're adding a ride share bonus (World MC comes with a $5 credit after 3 Lyft rides in a month.)

Why they're the First National Bank of Omaha! Home of such wonderful railroads as Union Pacific and the parent company (Berkshire Hathaway) of BNSF!

Looks like they added an annual lounge pass as well. Okay value for $99, but I have enough AGR points for a while and I don't value the other benefits at $99 for my travel habits

Sounds like it if they're sending the new card out automatically. There may be an opt-out provision, but at this point they also don't seem to have launched it for new cardholders yet.

Nothing AGR related in my Informed Delivery, but I do have another card with FNBO where a mailer is coming today. I do wonder if I'll somehow get both cards even though I cancelled my old annual-fee card. We shall see...

That seems to be the standard notice that they send when you're a month out from the annual fee posting. I got the same letter last month but with the note that it'd be on my September statement. I cancelled the card before it posted, but it's a standard letter that they send each year before...

Canada's regulations may balance this out a bit better. Direct compensation for the delay only applies if it's an issue within the airlines control, not directly related to safety issues. For a safety-related issue, the airline still has to provide completion of the ticketed transportation and...

UA, in my limited experience, does very well with rerouting on its own metal. I don't know the exact metric or back-end process, but once a delay is triggered, the app will automatically give a plethora of options for rerouting even for a relatively short delay. I think Delta is similar in that...

The information also could have just changed. Maybe BoA and Amtrak agreed to continue issuing points for existing cardholders until the new credit cards come online, or BoA is reconsidering whether to keep or drop the card. Anyone who's in the know doesn't seem to be telling. My only advice...

It's just them trying to get a bit of viral marketing. Seems to have worked if news agencies are picking up on it. Plus, it's keeping them relevant with the hip kids (or so I like to think...)

With Frontier/Spirit/Allegiant, I guess the cheap fares come with a lot of caveats. Particularly annoying is the lack of commitment to rebook on another airline if a flight is cancelled or significantly delayed; given their already-sparse route networks rebooking on the airline could mean...
