People would prefer the FR assuming it'll end up with a CL decrease rather than have it shut entirely.
Many and I mean many FR's end up with no change. Those that think selling an item on eBay or mowing someones lawn is a real business are the ones that get in trouble.
I just found a new supply of forks!

But those that think that buying gift cards at CVS is a real job are OK ;)
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

I had this card well before people used it for MS. 5% on G/G/D isn't less valuable if not earned on GC.

CMIIW, if no MS then you have to spend legitimate $6500 at 1% before getting that benefit, if you are really spending enough in those categories a year that you go way over $6500, then its great
