I have to make a large purchase, appx $15k, and want to maximize the benefits by opening a new card(s). Any card recommendation or strategy tips? I was thinking about putting enough on CSP or CSR to get the SUB and maybe opening an additional cash back card as well.

If it counts as a small business then you really missed out by not getting the Amex plat Resy 15x points offer on up to $25k…

Business cards are your friend here, assuming you can hit other annual spend relatively organically which most people on here can, business cards let you still get the personal card subs as well. So Amex plat business +Amex Plat reg = double the points. The business subs are hard to hit. For instance, Chase ink business preferred is 100k points for 15k spend. If you plan to try for other CC bonuses in the future, business cards are what I’d recommend with high expected spend

I’ll definitely think about this when I need to pay the $15k!

I really jumped at it bc my firm lets me expense the annual fee since it doubles as a lounge membership, so think it’s worth it to forego the $150 credit for one year

I travel a few times a year but not wedded to a specific brand or airline. I have a 3 week international trip coming up in July.

Not many cards give that big of a spending limit unless you have a charge card like Amex. Do you know if you can split the cost?

An Amex gold card? Over an Amex biz plat? When you have $15k+ of organic spend? Okay.

Have you tried drying to deal in cash or checks (they may not publicize this)? Only reason I ask is because a lot of places will cut you a deal to do that that’s far more valuable than scheming points ever would return (spoken from a huge points guy)

Thanks!

I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

I’ve also been proposed a Manager position at a consulting company in my home city, with potential of bigger salary thanks to bonuses. Culture seems good... But I’m sure it’s gonna be a hell lot of work.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?
