Unless you're spending a lot, it's pretty hard to justify a pull for 1.5%. And if you're spending a lot, you can do better.
That makes sense... I guess I'll hold off on it, unless someone here changes my mind.
Thanks!

Yes, but it has a fee, and 2.2 isn't CB; it's only for travel credits.
Travel credits can be easily converted to cash which makes it just as good. I would say it's easier to convert the travel credit to cash than be busy with 30 transactions

Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to do 30 transactions. I think it's worth ms-ing to max out the 6k bonus category and get 27k MR.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

+1. I never understood why people considered A+ points as getting something with points instead of cash. You're essentially paying cash, given the ease of cashing them out. The source of the cash happened to have been the points. It's like saying that airline fees are free with amex  platinum. PGGM adds a $200 bonus to the card. Now you're using the cash that you got from the bonus towards your fees. At the end of the day, you're paying cash.
