Why should one pay $180 extra for this

When does the 90 days spend criteria period begin? From when you get approved or when you activate your card?

well business to europe one way is about 139k VFF + $500-800 in fees. economy to europe is about 70-75k VFF + $300 fees.

2:1. 100,000 amplify = 50,000 velocity. It probably takes a few business days to transfer.

Correct. There’s more trips coming up, more house renos/appliances, etc etc. Will aim to make every dollar work towards VFF. Obviously…

As an avid OzB user, I saw that people really use the heck out of credit cards and bonuses, so I gave it a crack and got the Amex Platinum…

The yanks project themselves onto the world so they deserve it

This is a horrendous de-valuation of an already not impressive card. Plus add to that the devaluation of the overall VFF program - they are…
