But…$300 statement credit on Amex; $250 on Edit. Also, 5x points on Amex (worth ~$120 here) and no points on Chase when the credit applies. Amex wins this one.
I think your math is wrong.
Without factoring the value of Amex vs Chase points (which is clearly different), you would earn 7,925 Amex points vs 10,680 Chase points.
