My plan for August:
- CSP for travel/dining.
- Amtrak Guest Rewards for non-bonus spend. The points are worth 2.9c apiece, and as an Acela-corridor resident I can spend them pretty quickly. Bank of America just brought back the 30,000-point signing bonus; after the first year, I might downgrade to the no-annual-fee version, since I won't really be using the bonus categories.
- Keep SPG in the sock drawer, to charge Marriott stays and the annual free night.
- I should wait a few months before another Chase application, so I'll consider Hyatt or CFU then.

I'll prepay some bills on the SPG card this weekend before bidding it adieu.
