Pelaton credit, done. Very easy to get. I read there's a stubhub go around. Essentially you buy a really cheap ticket and sell it to yourself to get the cash out (minus fees). So about $120 doing that workaround for cash back.

The Edit credit, I'll book for next year or look around for some decent deals for this year. I don't really need any Hyatt or Marriott EQN this year. I'll see what's best for international travel.

Open door credit will be used for Vegas dinning later this year.

Giving Apple+ and Music subscriptions to my friend. I already pay for AppleOne.

Hertz Presidents club is a perk of the AMEX platinum card, do you have that? Otherwise MAYBE it’s an IHG Platinum perk through their partnership with Hertz? That would be an interesting way to backdoor into Hertz Presidents club visa Chase CSR even though it isn’t a directly listed benefit.
