I and other people agree that ~173,000 MR (150,000 SUB + 22,500 for initial $15,000 minimum spend with each individual charge being >$5,000 + ~280-295 for 1.87%-1.96% fee) is well worth ~$400-$600 (~$700 AF plus ~$280-$295 tax payment fee less 2 annual $200 airline credits less available other credits and possible airline fee triple dip) plus a few other perks.

You’re not alone with that lack of understanding. Many of us share it and it may be that only AmEx knows. Or there may be no reason or it could be the same reason as the answer to many questions that start with the word “why”, for example why does a dog lick his gonads (because he can).

FWIW, I just saw the following at the bottom third of this general AmEx credit card webpage. Maybe AmEx’s reasoning for a second card and “more than one card” also applies to 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th cards?
