The responses seem to be off topic at this point.

From post #36 thru #47, foreign currency exchange rates were the focus. However, we already have an ongoing thread on that topic: Best card for foreign exchange?. IIRC, most people are not happy about Amex exchange rates. IMHO, this line of discussion belongs there.

Can we please move back to OP's original inquiry and discussion about Premier Pass Elite/TY points? I am considering getting a new CC since Chase is changing their terms to strickly no sign-up bonus miles. I haven't paid any attention to TY points until very recently. Reading this thread helped me quite a bit in terms of learning about TY points before it got "off-road."

Thank You, even though I can't give out TY points.
