Wouldn't Sapphire be your best all around option?

not if i am trying to build points on my Amex. no? am i underestimating SP?

If staying at an SPG location, pay with that. Otherwise, i think you get the best overall value using Sapphire.

I don't necessarily think you need to do that. Price out your options and see which comes out cheaper.

I live in Israel and generally spend on the Arrival +. When I fly, it's with 6 ppl in economy so I aim for cash revenue from my points. I am going to be in the US for a bit and was wondering if my Amex Everyday is better for general spend when I'm there.

Other than those two I have:

TY Premier
Amex PRG
Amex SPG
Freedom (no Saphire)
AA citi and barclays.

Do all Amex cards give an additional year warranty on computer purchases or a specific one?

other then the purchases you earn X2/3/5 use the Everyday if you pass 20 purchases in your cycle, if you wont have that maybe get yourself the Freedom Unlimited which is 1.5UR for each $1

I spend about $20,000+ on tech from Costco annually. I always bought on my SPG AMEX cards for the benefits (specifically the buyer protection and third year warranty). Starting 6/21/16 Costco won't take AMEX anymore, only visa. I currently don't own a Visa card. Any advice on which personal and business Visa cards I should get that will give me the comparable/best benefits? Tia

I don't have any experience but I've heard poor talk about the non amex warranty and protections.

Maybe the new citi protection benefits provider will turn out to be a worthy competitor.

what card to use for Optimum (cablevision)? my options are CSP, Freedom, BA, SPG, or Delta. i'm leaning toward SPG simply because it's my default. any better options? (i'm not signing up now for any INKs)

mochjas · « **Reply #293 on:** May 09, 2016, 03:47:08 PM »

Ezpass?

Use spg with the amex offer

Ezpass?

I don't think it's categorized as travel so it all depends what you value the most.
Another consideration is to use a card that yiu won't close. I used a chaining card, closed the card and missed the email from ezpass that my payment didn't process. Next time I went through a toll the mta cop confiscated my ezpass.
