I mean you can’t beat the VentureX with versatility. 2x on everything and 5-10x on flights, rental cars, and hotels. Lmk if you want a referral

Amex platinum. If you’re looking for travel points then no cc comes close.

like

they mean you can no longer get green and gold SUBs after they get amex platinum

like

Chase sapphire or Amex platinum. Capital one venture has some nice options too

like

Or, all of the above. If there are no annual fees, get all the cards to get all the SUBs. $30K goes a long way.

like

Are you eligible for the Chase sapphire preferred with the $100k SUB? I would do that if you are paired with another personal or business SUB.

What about the Marriott card?

That limits you to just getting Marriott points and unless you plan to do a lot of traveling where you only stay at Marriott not worth it. Plus hotel points suck for redemption lol

Can the spend be broken up in to multiple transactions? Or is it a single buy?

There’s a great 175k pts for $8k spend with select Amex platinum referrals.

Could do that + a few others depending on 5/24 standing and easily rack up 500k+ points

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
