My plan right now is:
Apply for Chase Boundless when I am under 5/24
At the exact same time, apply for Amex Bevy
At that point, probably downgrade my Brilliant to the no fee card (now that it is confirmed that downgrading still gets you the 85K cert)
In a year, upgrade the Chase card to the Ritz card. Fish for an upgrade offer for the Bevy to Brilliant.
