[QUOTE=&quot;taxicabnumber, post: 16159, member: 1136&quot;]I would say apply before October 19 -- you'll still get your companion ticket, and if I'm reading things right, you'll have 15% off airfare for one year from the anniversary date; and any flights you book by then earn Flight Points once flown (so if you've got a bunch of trips coming up, get Prestige and book them). At least that's how it worked when they gutted the Premier in identical fashion pretty much exactly a year ago...Also note that there are some creative ways to earn Flight Points. For example, when I've upgraded a ticket with miles+copay in the past, the copay of &gt;$50 has been enough to earn me Flight Points; in general any sort of upgrade/ticket fee involving &gt;$50 would work it seems (including mileage tickets where taxes + surcharges can add up). Also, tickets purchased for others earn you Flight Points as well. This was my go-to card, but I guess it's time to move on once I burn through my Flight Points...debating whether to keep it after burning through those. The new earning structure isn't awful and it's effectively a $200 AF card with the airline credit.[/QUOTE]
