Me too. Just ran some numbers. I put about $2500 (to meet the 30k threshold) monthly on my PRG. About $500 in groceries and $100 in gas. Probably an average of $150 for airfare (based on annual estimate).

Assuming I understand the Everyday Preferred correctly (3x groceries, 2x gas and an additional 2x on all purchases after 30 transactions in a month), I estimate I'd earn about ~6k MR a month on Everyday preferred vs ~5k on PRG (including 15k annual bonus). With the cheaper AF, seems like a no brainer.
