That's amazing! I managed to earn 50,000 MRs in just over two months from my food and restaurant spending, plus bonuses, plus the big December promo they had for 10x. I love this card, and intend to use it exclusively wherever they take Amex. I may hang onto my SPG Amex for my Marriott spends, but not if I have to pay the annual fee...
