Is there anywhere to see at amex.com how much I've spent in groceries this year, or do I have to add it up myself?

Thanks

Analysis needed:
Is it worth paying a 2.75% service charge ($1457.50) for $53,000 in spend? assuming I will get the 50% bonus every month, spending is over the course of a year.

ETA: not grocery or anything with a bonus

Depends how much you value MR points. For example if you value them at $0.02 then it's like 3% back ($1590). That's $132 dollars richer than before. But sometimes you can get a better redemption than $0.02  and sometimes worse.

So you would end up with 79,500 points (53,000*1.5), which does not seem like such a good value.

Thats a terrible value. You're paying close to 1.8 for MR.

What are you talking about? Of course $1 purchases count, even a penny purchase counts.
