[Q274]

I am working with a friend of mine trying to get him into these credit card deals (he just flew to israel for abt 2 weeks and said his bill was close to 10000) any suggestions as to which are the best? He flies and stays in hotels. (Starwoods over citi american or any other suggestions)

How do you define best?

That's still fairly vague. The Amex plat. is a better card than the SPG but the annual fee is $450

Ok I hear you. Thanx. How about the spg, if i keep on canceling and resigning do i get 10,000 points each time? (like aa citi cards)

I don't think churning works on the Amex SPGs anymore.

Is it tougher, yes.
But it's definitely possible.  Use a new SPG number to improve your chances.
