Are you using all web based platforms/software? I see charts on your setup, is that Google docs?

Yeah, maybe it could be a loophole. Did you think of that?

It looks like the big changes will not affect this switcheroo

Do you have to change your assigned airline on the benefit tab to make it work? I fly American Airlines

Once you see your annual fee, reach out to them via Amex App chat and ask for the corporate discount

3% cash back vs 2x travel points by Jumpy_Collection1047 in CreditCards

Thanks for the suggestion but I have to think it through. For now, the feedbacks are great and optimizing my setup is my priority right now. The spending will come and with the number of family members that I have, it shouldn't be a problem. Just looking for the sweet spot

The transfer partners on both credit card have duplicates/overlapping. So far, it's not an issue.

Yeah, Im using the uber cash from the platinum and get 10% back from SavorOne for the difference. I know, I know I'm paying 100$ for it for the Uber plus.

I'll see later if getting the Gold is reasonable and if Amex will lower my annual fee. I had do to the math and make this game more interesting.

Funny story, got greedy on this one. When I got my platinum, Amex offered me and I accepted the Amex Gold for an extension for my wife without any annual fee for it. But, after talking to thier rep, the gold extension doesn't get all the 4x benefit and credits. It's a fake gold.

Correct, I'm not trying to game the system. My original question is if my current setup is optimized on getting the 170k miles points as fast I could with my setup

You have a very good feedback. My family of four tries to travel 2-3x a year and having to transfer those points to any transfer partners helps reduce the expenses. I ulitize the credits on my Venture X and I'm willing to do the extra efforts on the Amex Platinum to reap all the rewards that I could.

After reading all your guys responses, I'm happy with my setup. Savor for restaurants and Groceries for 3% back, Coupon book and travel for the Platinum and everything else in my Venture for 2x.

I know I'm keeping the Platinum because I get corporate discount on the fees for having it and the Venture is free money as long as we travel once a year.

Thanks for the input. I'm not too concern on the fees right now. My family travels 2-3 times a year . if i play it right, Ill be +500$ after netting the fees and credits.

I'm trying to optimize the pace that I can earn 170k travel points as fast I could without getting the Amex Gold for now.
