Honestly, with a shift to business spend, I don't think I'm going to put *any* non-incentivized spend on the personal Reserve in 2025. I'm toying with knocking it back to a lower-fee card, though I don't know how hard it will be to reverse that if necessary.

[The only thing holding that back is the high CL, which is relevant come tax season.]
