At
most 2.75%. You only get the bonus on the 'base point', so you get 1.75 (with top tier PR) + 1.
The Travel Rewards (at top tier of PR) gives you 2.63% on everything so if you don't have a bunch of travel expenses, it isn't worth carrying the other card, since the AAA card only gives you 1.75 on unbonused spend with the top tier of PR.
