Once you pass 6.5k, is the CB unlimited?

Yup! If you can pass a FR and your CVS is stacked with VR you can become a millionaire.

After 6.5k it is 5% only for G/G/D. Gas is limted to the first 400 of each purchase.

True, and noteworthy, but those are not limits on how much CB you can earn. (as opposed to BCP, freedom, etc. which all cap the CB potential.)

do you need to reach 6500 every year or just once for life of the card?

ok so with amex chat i converted my spg personal to BC. i asked repeatedly to make sure...and then when asking for the bnefits he named the BCE i got scared and made him double check...eventually he stated the BC benefits phew

ETA: does anyone know if this card takes part in SBS, and the other perks like that 25 off 75 on amazon that they ran late last year?

According to this random site you don't see any of the statement credit rewards until you've held the card for a year. True?

I hope you are joking.
