Amex platinum gives you 5cp and you also get 3cpp with spg gold

I always use spg amex. I believe you get the most value

AMEX SPG. You get two points per dollar at starwood hotels

SPG points are worth close to 3 cents per point, so you would be better off using the SPG card in my view.

Where do you stay that you get 3 cents per point?
I have a hard time clearing 2.3 cents per point, which is the bare minimum for using the SPG Amex over the CSR.

Plat only gets 5x if you book through Amex Travel, otherwise you are way better off with the SPG, or even a PRG.

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem.

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
