To each his own. Because I'm redeeming for domestic economy, I figure I do about twice as well by mixing several cards.
(And BTW, I consider cashback the same as mileage or points. If I spend $25k on a 2% cashback card, that buys me a $500 ticket. If I spend the same on an AA Visa, I get 25k points. Very hard to find a $500 redemption in 25k points.)
You folks with fancy aspirations live in a different world.
