Heya, we're about to do some significant purchases over 30 days and I estimate that I'll be spending between $30,000 to $50,000 online.

What credit card would you recommend for churning purposes for a high spend like that?

Not a business so unfortunately not eligible for those cards. Fly with Virgin more so than Qantas but not too fussed about what airline it benefits more.

Thanks

  Many cards (not Amex IIRC) stop/reduce points accrual after a monthly limit. So don't get just one card.

  Pick one points scheme (Qantas, Velocity, etc), sign up for the bonus offers and swipe away.

  Amex platinum will get you 2.25x your spend so at $50K it'll be 112,500 points roughly. Quick rule of thumb is 20,000 points = $100 gift card value

    do you work in marketing?

      did I grossly misrepresent?

          @askbargain: lol I didnt neg you but sometimes thinking of things in round, whole figures are easier to calculate.

          My line of thinking, most people will get that the value lies somewhere between $500 to $600. Why work with decimals?

            @Bargainitis: same reason why your grocery store says price per 100g

  I would get multiple cards. Get a friend/family member to get one too.
