Why are you using AMEX platinum for your regular spend? Only the one bonus category. Pair with AMEX gold or Chase Preferred or Reserve (visa) to get some dining and travel points. For no annual fee Chase freedom is 3% back in first year and Citi double cash gives 2% on everything.

If you have a corporate AMEX you can combine your points with your personal card

Chase freedom unlimited has 3x on all purchases for first year, no AF

I have a Capital One Venture card. I specifically bought it for international use and it’s been great. I also have a Discover that has no annual fee or foreign transaction fee, but Discover isn’t as widely accepted as Visa

Depends if you want standard CC or rewards. Just started using Chase Bonvoy/Marriott with zero annual fees, but rewards cards will generally run you at higher APR %. I always clear my balance on CC’s, so it’s fine for me- and would rather collect points as added bonus. No foreign transaction fees either.

Zero annual fee? I’m being charged 95/yr
