Which of the spends is acceptable?
A) $10,000 (10K straight on charges regardless of 450 fee or 200 credit)
B) $10,200 (10K plus an extra 200 to deal with credit)
C) $9,550 (450 less than 10K to put you at 10K after the annual fee)
D) $9,750 (250 less than 10K to put you at 10K after 200 credit and 450 fee)
I'll take A, Regis. Final Answer. As I mentioned before, though, When you're spending $10K and playing for 100K points, I don't see the point in cutting it quite so close. Overshoot it. In the grand scheme of things, an extra $500-$1K isn't going to hurt being diverted from other accounts/programs. Just my philosophy, I guess.
