- What are the most useful overlapping transfer partners? For example, Aeroplan is a transfer partner for Amex / Capital One and Star Alliance. Perhaps break it down into domestic and international travel? - Trucker X
- The Thanos Snap happens and instead of wiping out half of the population, one bank that issues credit cards is no longer. Each of you pick one bank between AMEX, Chase, Citi, and C1 and figure out how the remaining banks respond to fill the void created by the bank that is snapped out of existence - Jason
- There are some interesting long-term plays in this game - examples might be getting one of the Chase Marriott cards to product change to the Ritz after a year, or timing Southwest card applications to secure the Companion Pass, or at the extreme running seven figures of spend through a Platinum card to fish for a Centurion invite. Which long-term credit card play is the most interesting to you? - SpaethCo
- Each of you has a different preference as to which points ecosystem you want to primarily earn in for redemptions. Aside from adding the obvious transfer partner (Lani = united, Tariq=Hyatt, RJ =Delta & Hilton, Matt= jet Blue maybe?) What would Wells Fargo need to do to their cards/rewards program for them to become the preferred ecosystem in your wallet. Like for example if they added a grocery category or made bilt points interchangeable or something of that nature would that be enough to entice you to their ecosystem - Thic Boii
