Recently got the BofA Visa and have already met the SUB so the card for the 1st year is essentially free whilst getting 4 PP memberships that still have the restaurant benefit.
Will use Amex Gold or Amex cash back depending on the category. I use MaxRewards so any "coupon" redemption happens by chance but it does happen!
I'm also dropping Venture X this year. Ironically, I could never get into their lounge because there was always a 30 minute wait at DFW.
