I get it through SunTrust Private Wealth (now Truist). 5.25% on dining and travel, 3.5% on gas and grocery and 1.75% on everything else.

I used to care a lot more about status, but buying premium tickets these past few years I was already making me think about free agency. Now asking myself is EXP at 200K LP worth $3500 of lost cash back (assuming 1.75% spend), Im not so sure. Maybe if you cut that cost in half with a ticket somewhere if you can actually redeem for a premium cabin...
