But...as we all know, spending on the new Amex SPG is not as lucrative for airline transfers (my only use) and Aeroplan is in flux, so not sure what amount of spend I want to put on those cards.

As it stands, I'm putting spend on the Alaska card, but that'll be gone in 5 months or so when I cancel. I guess in a few more months I'll re-apply for the personal plat.

It just seems like my options are way less exciting/lucrative now. Is it time to get on the travel cashback cards? There's the Cobalt, but I'm stubbornly waiting for the 40k sign-up bonus.
