Well it's now been over 6 months since the Altitude changes came into effect. Looking back at my statements, it seems that around 90% of my spend (actually came in at 93%) is through the Amex, and the rest through Visa.
So all in all the changes have cost me about 3.5% to 5% of FF points, which isn't that big in the grand scheme of things (ie on my current spending patterns it has cost me between 25 and 75 pts per month, depending on the month).
However, my question is where to from here? I don't really want to fork out extra money for the Amex card, so may either look at changing or request they waive the fee for the Amex again. CitibankGold looks like the best option as I want travel insurance.
Is there anybody else who actually kept their Altitude card?
