I still believe that if you spend a large amount on high revenue international airline tickets, e.g., Stimpy, you are much more likely to be considered "suitable" for the US C-Card. Judging from the elite memberships they give, the airlines must buy into the program under the assumption that they will be getting heavy spenders on their services.

I think the $150k per annum number is the outside, where, beyond that, you're guaranteed. Under that, if they decide you're a useful spender to their partners, then they give it to you.
