Yep, I was surprised. I canceled my AMEX Gold as the AF was too high for my modest grocery spend. However, since the basic HSBC Premier card is no AF I'll take 3x on gas and groceries. The HSBC Elite is interesting at no other card has 5x on "travel" from what I've seen. AMEX Platinum is 5x on Airfare. Other cards have 5x or better but only if you book through their portals. Having 5x on things like taxis, cruises, and hotels is nice.
