Better card to use - platinum or MB platinum? Any difference really?

Only if you're buying a benz

Thought as much. So I'll keep the reg platinum for purchases.

I will be spending 20-25k in the next month. I did the AA 100k already. Im looking to use that spend as efficiently as possible in terms of getting sign up bonuses. What do you recommend?

Chase Ink cards, SP, BA... What are you looking to use the points for?

Go for a 2nd AA card.

I am just looking to get the most points for my spend dollars. I dont really care which currency as each of them has a specific use to me (ie I use the ba for short domestic flights, use aa for international business etc).

I was thinking of going for a second aa card.

While the bonus is still 100k and up and running I would highly recommend it especially if its your main international points stockpile.

gas is a nice chunk of it.

ckmk47 · « **Reply #192 on:** May 02, 2014, 06:45:24 PM »

Based on Dan's post on which card for what:

a) Ink cards - buy gas cards. keep them in the trucks to use as necessary. 5 UR / $1 gas. But will need more than 1 Ink, because the office supply 5ppd caps out at $50K.
Ink has 3 X on gas (some Inks) even without office supply spending.

b) old Blue from Amex 5 cpd, unlimited after $6500.

c) even PRG for exactly 30K

fidelity amex 2%
priceline visa 2%

those two are the best cashback cards for things which dont qualify for any extra percentages from other cards. eg. other card might have 5% for restaurants or something. However sometimes certain categories arent eligible for anything. in which case the above 2 cards are terrific.

Or better yet, Barclays Arrival card for 2.2% (Unless you only want CB and don't want to buy a refundable ticket and cancel).

so if you refund the ticket you get the cash credited on the account? has anyone tried it? also they might patch it. sounds pretty awesome though!

Anyone know if there's a store that sells Lukoil gift cards?
