one after another (Citi Exec) - it made sense. Now it's all gone
and trying to extract some small leftovers out of this simply doesn't make sense.
I don't MS at all. Never have. Don't really care to start. I travel a lot for work. The closest thing I do to MS is buy all my own airfare on my own card and get reimbursement for it. That is why I have an Amex Plat for the 5x on airfare. That right there is fueling a lot of my points earnings. My hotel points come from actually sleeping in hotels. Earning isn't the issue for me.
Plus for the amount of time I spend here on FT I feel like there are worse uses for my free time.
