I'm becoming less excited about having the Business Earner. My last redemption was in August 2022. The next redemption is in July 2024. It is becoming my Hell's Kitchen card, because we don't stay at Caesars properties. Most mid tier hotels want 30,000 point anymore. I don't blame them for raising their requirement, they're only getting about $45 when we redeem at 13,500 points. I have a Wyndham timeshare, the business version earns zero X on maintenance fees and incidentals, unlike my IHG card that earns 5X on Club Wyndham charges! Then there's the whole Choice Hotel potential acquisition.

For now, I'll continue to use the card for gas and Wyndham Hotel stays, but I'm done with anything below 8X earning.
