But suppose you are spending more than 35k non bonus in a year. What would you advise? Besides for cutting down on spending  :P
Just curious, what categories are you spending more than $3,000/month in that can't be bonused?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Gas & groceries

Where can you get more than 3x UR (after $6k annual cap EDP and BCP)?

Should be fine for any AU

I have to be AU on my spouse's account, or if we are both AU on the Freedom Unlimited then he can transfer to his own Sapphire Preferred?

Say you have a tickets business. Say you pay tuition for 4 kids in NYC (no fee from the schools). Suppose you can pay rent with only 1% fee.... There are a bunch of things...

Truthfully, you should be converting Sapphire cards into Freedom cards and not be applying for freedom cards.

That's always been my strategy and it means you would need to spend wayyyyyyy more than $10K to make a 3x for a year offer with no SUB more compelling than that.
I spend close to 100k on Freedom every year, and so do others. Thats equal to 300k/UR points and 150k bonus. How is that not compelling?

This isn't rocket science. Do the math for your own situation. This is not one fits all card.
I just found a new supply of forks!

AFAIK 100k is included in
wayyyyyyyyyy

But again if there is spend in what would be a bonus category on another card, it should be going there.
