Right -- for my FX spend I've got the Chase PPlus as well as a CapitalOne card (and FWIW the Venture card will give 2% back on travel, if managed correctly) so I really was not factoring in FX spend, just how to deal with USD charges.

Blah. Really wish we could have kept the status quo, but oh well...so I guess the questions I really need to answer are:
a) what card to use for non AX purchases domestically? (looking like Capital One Venture for the 2% back via travel.)

b) SPG AX vs Fidelity AX for US spend? (Honestly torn here: value SPG @ $.025 but 2% liquid cash is also nice...need to mull that one over)

c) FX spend? (Guessing either the Venture Card or my Chase PPlus.)
