How much do you spend a year? Where do you spend the most ? (Category wise) Are you a mileage flyer or segment?

I am somewhat in the same boat.

ETA: sky club is going to crap. Wifi is slow and free drinks are Miller and Gordon's booze... Not exactly premium.

Maybe 25k or so -- no family and I don't sling it like this is the OT.

Restaurants are most of my spend - I can charge meals on the road to personal cards. I have the AMEX SKy Blue Preferred which gives me 2 pts per $ at restaurants. 7500 pts = $100 off travel expenses.

Definitely a mileage flyer.

Sky Club is still better than nothing...

Lynx--you can charge your corporate expenses to personal cards? We have to use the Green Corporate Amex and the rewards blow unfortunately.

With a Delta plat Amex you can get 10,000 mqm's with 25k spent in a calendar year

I have the reserve and put around 30k on it yearly... If my apt took Amex I would be able to hit 60k

The reserve gives you access to SC and is a "tiebreaker" for you and another platinum medallion competing for the same upgrade. I am only a gold and have definitely seen an increase in upgrades since I got the card last Sept.

But I'm not sure I don't want to switch to one of their charge cards

60k spent on DL Reserve gets you 30k mqm's... Sadly they really don't do me much good since I am a Segment flyer
