Does anybody have a data point on the $5000 spend/1k TQP incentive not having a limit? Yeah, this actually matters...if I can mostly spend my way back to Select Plus/Select Executive, it affects the calculus both for handling tickets with points vs cash spend and whether the AGR card resides in a sock drawer for the next seven months or becomes a frequently used card for me. In terms of un-bonused spend, AGR points right now compete with...most other cards, really...for not-bonused spend. Heck, I'd have to do some scratch pad math to compare 2 AGR points with 3 Chase points on the dining front. The issue on Amtrak has been needing cash spend to retain status...

...but a lot of programs are moving away from focusing exclusively on with-the-company spend and towards counting CC spend in some manner (e.g. Hyatt's two night credits for each $5000 in CC spend, AA and B6 more-or-less totally integrating CC spend as part of their program), so this wouldn't be shocking.
