I was just making a general commentary - that wasn't at all directed at you personally. I try to use all coupons also (I raised hell with AMEX a few years ago when my monthly Uber credits weren't working) and for the most part only use my Plat for airfare/FHR as well as international 1x spend (as I don't bother carrying a general use no-FTF product). My point was simply that the min-max mindset has gone absolutely bonkers when it leaks over into even something like trying to justify a $75k spend they're not coming anywhere close to hitting in order to save $50 on one-time passes a few times a year.
