I am Canadian but based at my Arizona vacation home for 5-6 months a year as a non-resident alien. When I am not in Arizona, I need to remember to pull out a "foreign" credit card to make a restaurant purchase.

The 85K FNA just doesn't work well for me for my stay patterns. I have no interest in a Luxury Property on an overnight layover. I have only ever stayed at a RC once, not a property that I seek. I have stayed at Luxury properties before, JW, W, St. Regis & RC but never paid more than $250 per night. I don't need to amass 85K FNCs so don't see value in RC cards. Perhaps a good strategy for many, just not for me.
