If I used the 3-2-1 option I could see that happening. I am trying to find a 2% return on EDP. I currently use the Costco Amex for travel & gas and Penfed Plat Visa for gas (at non-Costco stations). EDP is split between the new Chase WN Visa Signature (since 09/2010) and Amex Plat. Formerly, just the Costco Amex & Penfed Plat Visa, cash back was lowered .25%. And occasionally use the Penfed Amex for travel and bonus categories.
