I plan to do separate transactions for $250 after learning the hard way that any more than that takes much longer to post. Although, I'm not in a hurry for points to post since I'm 33k away from Platinum Pro.

Only reason to wait is if you think the 5% discount might come back while still at 3x. That’s obviously a much better deal, but… do ya feel lucky?
