Updating my quest for the world: I am fresh off a financial review and have done 18,000 this month on it with 3,000 in previous spending. Given the delay in posting points (Points earned in october will post in December according to AMEXHelp/Chat) - I'd like to finish it this month with 9,000 more. We'll see if I run into the mythical number where you can't spend anymore on a gold card. I plan on cancelling this card at the end of year, and I already passed FR - so I'm not too concerned about another one - and with my first one, nothing about CVS large purchases was brought up (even though that's what triggered it).
