  • Hey, that sounds pretty neat, actually. I appreciate the $50 max balance transfer fee, too. I know a couple people who thought they were getting a sweet deal by cashing in on all those points only to find out that there balance transfer fee was something like $250! You could’ve just saved yourself the hassle and gotten yourself a roundtrip trip ticket to Chicago for that. But this one sounds good – I may check it out.
