Cardholders lose travel protections and perks they chose the original card for, with no compensation or equivalent replacement offered. The transition is treated as a contractual novation that nullifies existing benefit expectations.

The transferred product duplicates rather than replaces the existing relationship, leaving customers paying double annual fees for the same perks. There is no automated detection of benefit duplication or proactive customer notification.
