For those discussing the 75K cap and the online calculator, keep in mind the CC miles are awarded separately from the flight itself.

That said, I do expect we're going to see a lot more complaints hittng the 75K limit as more Platinum and Gold MP members hit it (that one extra mile makes a difference when you're buying International J).

I have to ponder whether it's a better deal to keep using my AmEx Platinum for ticket purchases, or switch back to my United Club card. Both now offer a "5x" multiplier. I await a points site posting a good side-side.
