Unbonused spend: We were putting $30k per year each on SPG business, $25k-$50k on Delta Platinum to help with status, the rest on Freedom Unlimited. We'd recently added Blue Business Plus (shifting spend from Freedom Unlimited). Also our point balances have gotten kind of high so we also put a lot on the 3% Alliant cash back card last year, but were shifting that to BB+ now that we'd gotten one.

Bonused spend: Chase (CSR for travel and dining, Ink for office supplies and telecom, Freedom Unlimited, and Freedom.)

It's definitely not worth it for us to use SPG anymore due to reduced earn, not to mention loss of Sheraton Lounges and loss of Marriott lounges and upgrades.

So we will get a second BB+, and then any remaining will go back to Freedom Unlimited and cash back cards.
