Any consideration of going Biz Gold to funnel it all through Suica at 4X? I guess if you're Tokyo based, using the $20 monthly coupons to buy GCs at Staples is not a viable option to cut down the effective annual fee though.
Have considered switching that card from my biz spend to personal, but it’s very useful in the biz side right now - plus I pull a ton more MR than UR so trying to maintain something (dining spend essentially) that can go to Hyatt/United (with Alaska as an additional plus for Bilt)…
