What is the best starting point for learning about points from the beginning? Specifically, Delta air travel is my #1 interest.

Great, that’s a healthy amount of spend and won’t require MS. I’d start with a CIP 80k link at Chase and a 180/190k Biz Gold at Amex and then a 150/160k Biz Plat as well. That’s $30k in 3 months, which if you stagger should work out with your organic spend alone. This will keep you under 5/24 as they don’t count towards it, and actually won’t show up on your credit anywhere. Exhaust through these, and then we’ll circle back to Chase United/SW/Hyatt (depending on your goals), Amex Personal Plats and Golds, and then if you have more spend even dip into some other issuers.

Taking a good look at partner award redemption charts like Air France, KLM, Korean might be a good start. Due to Delta’s dynamic pricing, you’re better off booking Delta flights using partner awards.

The problem is that one (I) could lay out the most maximizing chart based off of your credit profile, but you (or whoever asks) will just go out and get the delta gold card from the delta website anyways.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

Amex corporate green card or CSR? I’m not seeing many benefits to the Amex and I’m wondering whether I should just stop paying the annual fee and apply for CSR instead and get reimbursed for business expenses from that card. Considering I can only put business reimbursable expenses on the Amex, it’s not accumulating points very fast. Would I be better off consolidating my points on CSR? Amex platinum doesn’t seem like the right move for me right now.
