What card would be best for AWS charges?

thanks.
The BRG does give 3x on AWS if you chose that category. Otherwise it gives 2x.

The best card for any hosting spend was the Chase Ink Plus (5x). The Chase Ink Preferred gives 3x.

By the way, if you switch to GCP, not only will you pay less for better hosting, but they bill it out through AdWords billing infrastructure so it codes as advertising.

Win win.

(Edited to add that the Ink Plus can still be applied for if you find the right links on the Interwebs.)
