Best bonuses for high spending ?
« on: December 03, 2014, 09:23:36 PM »
As someone who can manufacture a lot of spending on CC's
I am looking for what are some of the best built in bonuses for high spenders ?
What have I missed ? where am I best off putting $25-75k of spending each month ?

Amex PRG - 15k bonus after $30k spent (going away after this year)
Amex SPG - Gold status after $30 (free with platinum card)
Amex Delta - 5-10k MQM's depending on the card (you can work all the way up to diamond status but not worth it with all the annual fees)

Chase united - 10k bonus miles after $25k spent (better off with club card)
Chase BA - companion pass after $30k spent (worthless)
Chase SW - companion pass after 110k miles earned


Citi AA executive - 10k EQM's after $40k spent (you can combine with 10k EQM from US airways card)

Barclays US airways 10k EQM's after $25k spent (spend in 2014 and get them in 2015 so you
should be able to combine with 10k EQM from AA)

Citi hilton - Amex Hilton Diamond status after $40k spent (not worth much more then gold)

Many people say SPG as they have the best values (point-wise) on hotel stays, and they are transferable at higher rates to several airlines. Flexible and valuable points.
