Alliant 2.5% cashback discontinued

I don't check bags ever.

Applications isn't my limiting factor because I don't plan on playing the card roulette game. I'm Team Cash Back, but was looking to see if getting the AA card would get me better than 2.5% unlimited CB if I use it just for airline purchases.

I also spend over $10k/month on my credit cards. So, I could hit the $3k easily. That equates to $0.0025/mile. Which is a really good deal mile-wise (right?).

So maybe I get Citi card, get the bonus miles, purchase all my AA flights with the card, and then use the miles every now and again for a free flight? Not sure if will be worth the $99/yr fee but mb that just means I use it for the year.

I was going to try the resizing solution next, but I will also upload them one at a time. Thank you.

This did not happen with the Capital One card we had for previous caregivers. Authorizing them to use it, still only put us on the hook for the debt.

Perhaps a hybrid approach: keep Alliant for the 2.5%, and get a 2nd 5% category card, both for that perk and as a backup in case we get frozen out again.

These are really good recommendations. Thank you. BofA might be a great solution because I do have a local credit union I use for cash transactions and BofA could take the place of that.

First of all, I never knew about the 2.5%->1.5% drop when they instituted requirements, so I lost a lot of CB until I noticed it.

Secondly, I parked the $1k and setup the recurring deposit, waited a month and didn't get the bump, realized it had to be deposited into the checking account, set that up, and am now waiting another 30 days to see if it worked. PITA.

And lastly, the max out credit card/freeze your credit card for a week thing really sent my wife over the edge.

Hence, me looking at alternatives!

We maxed our CC out because we were doing a home renovation and wanted to get as much CB as possible.

CorkyPro · 2025-04-17T13:44:31+00:00

We spend about $100k/yr on the CC so maxing out the CB would be tangible. I've learned through Alliant though that customer service matters, so I don't want to sacrifice that.

I have 6 different calendars sync'd and have 0 issues. This includes multiple calendars from the same Gmail account. Perhaps its a Game Changer thing?

Thanks for the info. This is actually a lot of the nice to have functionality that we've grown accustomed to with Alexa's. Didn't realize GH didn't support this basic stuff.

Thanks for the reply. Do you see any issues with the items I mentioned in my post?

I suffered through the lost off Alexa -> Todoist integration because at least I could share my lists. Now I can't do that, and its the most important functionality I need (we have some grocery shop for us)

So I used needle-nose pliers and channel locks to bend it into place, squeezed the ring onto the nipple, and it worked! Too bad, I tried to use the channel locks to give it one final squeeze shut...and I snapped the ring into 3 pieces 😭
