I don’t, but AMEX Everyday Preferred is a good candidate for a single AMEX daily driver.

Let’s say someone has $36,000 of annual spend a year, does at least $6000/yr in groceries, $3000/yr in gas, and makes 30 transactions a month. That person would earn 76,500 pts or 2.125 pts/$ spent and a $95 annual fee.

Of course, AMEX Gold could work out better if you have a lot of dining and/or grocery expenses. Say you have $36,000 annual expenses, $10,000 year in groceries, $3000/yr in restaurants, $3000/yr in airline purchases you’d earn 81,000 pts/yr or 2.25 pts/$ with a $250 annual fee and $240 of possible credits.
