- I have a FORD MC since '91 and I'm enjoying their cash rebate on
- purchases I made ever since, but I got a letter from FORD yesterday
- saying that they will upgrade my existing FORD MC to a Gold MC, still
- with no annual fee, but the cash rebate feature of my MC will discontinue
- after my next anniversary date.
-
- I called their customer service and asked if I can choose not to accept the
- upgrade and keep the cash rebate feature, cause I'd rather get some money
- back each year than carry a gold card. They said I can deny the upgrade, but
- the cash rebate will still be discontinued no matter what. I'm sure they
- will see a lot less activities on my card after they discontinue the cash
- rebate. It's time to take out my Discover Card again.
-
- Does any FORD card member out there get the same notice of change?
