re: Credit Card Rewards and Points Discussion

I’m no Amex fanboy by any stretch but to say Chase is eating their lunch is a far cry. Maybe when they threw the first stone with the 100k UR CSR and to folks who simply use 1.5x portal purchases, but Amex has stepped up their game considerably. I still keep the CSR/freedom/biz unlimited but the Amex Trifecta of plat/gold/biz blue has taken wallet space.

Obviously it’s ymmv of what and how, where one wants to travel, but to the niche enthusiast who knows how to maximize ccp (mainly J/F international travel highlighted by lsuregit above as one example), Amex MR is very very valuable.

Next move is on chase. As long as Citi keeps giving me 75k AA pts average every couple of weeks, I’m not stopping that train either lol
