Should I keep what I have or trade up?
I currently have: Hilton Surpass, Capital One VentureOne, JetBlue Plus.
I travel (drive) often on the East Coast and the Hilton brand is deteriorating here. IHG seems to be good, so I’m considering the IHG One Rewards Premier (I know I just missed the awesome SUB). I have also enjoyed the Residence Inns in the past, and am considering also getting one of the Marriott Bonvoy cards.
I don’t fly much anymore. So the JetBlue card is kinda pointless?
I’m forever debating the Amex Platinum card. So if I don’t get an IHG or Marriott card, does it make sense to get the Amex Platinum instead? The annual fee is a lot, but I thiiink I could justify it if I used the hotel and Resy credits, and got rid of Hilton Surpass.
Thoughts, suggestions, personal experiences would be appreciated.
