Maybe I should forgo the Amex Airmiles Plat and just use up the miles I have and concentrate on better programs.
I'd even considered getting the BMO Airmiles card for the bonus and 25% less airmles redemption despite the $99 fee when I actually went to use them. I thought the Amex Airmiles plat was only 1500 miles, 2000 is even better and 2100 with referral.
If the program is that bad, then I don't think I'll do it.
I have to spend 5k on the Amex Biz Plat and then $500 on the Airmiles and forget what o the Chase. This will be a hard churn, maybe too hard.
Get the Chase for sure, as you get the bonus after first purchase, any amount. As for the AM Plat, $500 is also an easy spend, for over $200 value. You get 500 AM for the referral and 1600 more for the bonus. The 5K though is very steep. Tough to MS that in Canada.
