I'm not exactly a heavy spender but I don't think she was going to push hard to get me on another card because 6-7 months earlier I had moved 95% of my 5-10K/month to a non-Amex card.

I may still look into getting the card you mentioned though. The bonuses can be lucrative sometimes but I'd rather focus on accumulating some hotel points now.
