-how much do you have to spend before like a platinum amex becomes worth the yearly fee?
-are there any "classic" threads on here with basic cc info I should read?
All help welcomed, thanks in advance
I am sure there is a classic thread somewhere, but here is my suggestion:
Starwoods
Marriott Rewards Visa (if you are staying at Marriott)
Amex Plat is good as it offers lounge access so you will recover the cost very quickly.
Even with the deval - TYN is still not a bad option if you are looking for flexibility (PPE) with flight awards.
Schwab Visa cash back card if international travel.
Its really depends on a lot of individual preferences, but a combination of 3 of the above is a good start.
