Asking for a friend that both loves cash back, and loves traveling to Asia in first class.

Centurion biz, assuming over 5k a swipe.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

The latter precludes the former, unless he doesn't mind spending $1.25 MM for each F class ticket to Asia.

5k per swipe 50% bonus is capped at 1,000,000, no? Does platinum have the same cap?

I think so. Yes. Makes sense to have 2 BPs besides the centurion.

Comes out to about 2.25% or more back, plus the benefit of the spending ability a charge card gives you.

Or just go with EDP and CFU plus biz plat and CSR.

biz plat and CSR.

Biz centurion is more valuable than any of these. The AF is easily justifiable when accumulating a large amount of points.

(Not to mention that you don't want all your business expenses running through your personal cards, say nothing of the fact that you probably won't be able to spend $500k/month on a FU or EDP.)
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
