Aside from the vigorously discussed benefits from the card, when my wife said she wanted to get a credit card (and I've always been a 'hell no' type of person when dealing with credit since I always save up and buy), she pitched it to me as how much of a benefit the points are considering the spend she has on business trips for work. When her travel is extensive (almost half the year), this makes a lot of sense, but I wonder now if there's a better way to skin this cat. We also have the chase 'metal' card as well for the same purpose. Any thoughts on this strategy?
