The one thing you're not taking into account is whether it's worth getting another card from a different bank just for gas. Getting a BGR is not a big deal if you already have amex cards.
Either way, I don't think amex did anything special here, kinda worthless really.

To be clear, I'm not saying this is a card to ignore, necessarily. I'm simply saying it's not as exciting as some people are making it out to be.

4x for $295 < 5x $295 < 5x $0.

The issue is will this card be used for normal purchases or for MS?
I just found a new supply of forks!

Well, we've I've conclusively established that this card is useless if NOT MS'ing.

Unless, of course, for the umpteenth time, you drive a TT, like some of us apparently do.

Sounds like you're arguing against it even for TT/MS'ers

So which card that is good for MS and gives 5X on gas?

Propel combined with WF Visa can give 5.25% CB towards travel with $0 AF.

Except you can't MS that.

And we're sure you can MS the BGR with RATs everywhere?

What's your MS expense ratio?

I'd think that <1.14% is highly attainable if you don't live in an MS desert.

At that fee structure, you're looking at costs of $1,710 for MS  + $295 for the annual fee.

How is $2,005 for 600k MR yawn worthy?
BTW are there any good/active MS threads or is everything that still works by pm only

This is what will make BGR worth it or not, I myself have had the card for a couple of years, but did not test MS in store if it works or not.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.

They haven't made problems on any other card AFAIK, spend for SUB excluded.
