I’ve found that 70+% of my spend is on food in some capacity, so I get the 4x there.

I also make sure to check in on offers every few weeks and add them even if I’m not sure I’ll use. There are often Bonvoy reimbursements. Offers alone have paid for my CC fee, and then grubhub / Uber is gravy on top of that

Groceries are 4x points. And book flights directly at the airline site for 3x. There's also 10 dollar monthly grubhub credit besides uber eats.
