Maximizing Savor Cashback and VX points
I have a pretty simple setup.
- Amex Gold for dining and groceries (and anything where the Rakuten multiplier beats C1 portal)
- Savor for streaming, entertainment, and restaurants that don’t take Amex (I travel abroad frequently)
- VX for travel and everything else
I have been converting the Savor cash back to points with VentureX. I think it works out to earning more points than using the VX right?
Say concert tickets were $300, I’d get $9 back which converts to 900 points vs if I’d used VX I’d end up with 600 points ($6).
Am I doing that math right? Is there a better use of the cash back? Is the purchase eraser a better use?
