the last person paying bills by check?

Costco amex sends a rebate check every yr, comes next month's.
Amex is trying hard for me to take a new card after the costco one ends. No application, just have to accept it.
Sams takes discover.

Very odd... they have called the house and sent invitations for me to apply... nothing about keeping or accepting.

I asked straight up if they run a full credit check and was told they do...

My FICO is 841 and don't want to take a hit just so I can keep their card... I've been doing business with them for a long time and have a perfect payment history...

Another thing is I was told the new card comes with a one year annual fee waiver...

I have not seen my Costco card for years... use the AmEx picture ID on the back for Costco... convenient... wonder if I will need to go to customer service to get a replacement card if AmEx is discontinued?

Probably shift to Discover where I can...

I've been trashing the amex offers, I'll switch to the new costco card. I also use discover a lot.

Discover was a card that just stayed in drawer after Costco switched to AmEx for many years.

About 3 years ago I dusted it off to track expenses for projects and I like it.

Looking at various travel award cards with major sign up bonus. Have a trip planned for Sep that will be paid in June. Plenty to satisfy the minimum purchase.
