I rarely have single large purchases but will have a tax payment of around 10k due in April. Assuming a minimum 1.87% fee ($187), I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to use cc. I've got two options for non-bonused spend: Amex Blue Biz Plus 2x MR points and Chase Ink Unlimited 1.5x UR. (Would a tax payment be considered a cash equivalent, thus ineligible for Amex 2x?)
I'm wondering if I'm missing a better option. If there's a card that x amount of annual spending will get me better status (and I'd make a point of reaching that spend). My organic spend is around 5k/month but spread around across my and spouse's ccs. Does anything in this list strike anyone as a better cc for big purchase or for targeting annual spend for perk?
Hotel cc: Marriott Bonvoy Biz Amex (Gold), Hyatt (Explorist)
Airline cc: DL Gold, DL Biz, AA Aviator, Possible UA biz (considering applying)
Chase: CSR, Freedom Unlimited, Freedom, Ink Cash, Ink Pref
Amex: Amex Plat, Amex Gold
Citi: Prestige
