Yeah and you are paying 1.87% for 1.3 points per dollar, not 2.3. I assume that you have some other credit card, including another amex card obviously, so you can already get 1ppd with another card for free. You are only actually gaining an extra 1.3ppd, so you would really be getting 65000 points for 50000 in spend that you would not otherwise get with any other card. Also, the 10k sign up bonus is for any purchase, so it makes no sense to factor that into the spending bonus for a new card, since you can literally get that 10k from a cup of coffee.

1X posted is bonus. Regular MR will be posted after statement closes, with typical one month delay. Be patient.

I love this card. It's the most favorite one I have so far. 2+ MR per 1$ spend. MR points easily worth more than 1 cent. So it's better than a 2% cb card. I have an Amex plat biz and pers so I can pair up for the 50% flight. Add the 0% APR in and bam even better! I don't even have to pay it off in full each month like I usually do. Gives me some time to sell stuff on my Amazon FBA business. I don't have to rush to sell stuff (some times at a loss) to get money to pay my credit card bills. Not to mention I can spend over my credit limit and still have 0% APR.

* I had a dine at a restaurant inside a hotel that didn't earn the 9x bonus, even though it billed as a restaurant (but for the restaurant name it showed the hotel name). So there are occasional "dines" that may not be qualifying for the 9x, I don't know exactly how they determine that.
