I have always thought the Chase Freedom Flex was a better value than the Freedom Unlimited, considering the Sapphire earns an extra .1 with the 10% anniversary bonus the CFU only earns 0.4 points more per dollar on non category. The CFF earns 3.5/$ more than the CFU on targeted categories, meaning if you hit 50% of the annual max 5x on the CFF you are better off unless you are putting over $26k/yr on the CFU.
Advantage for Capital One: it's the only duo where neither card charges foreign transaction fees. Recommended this pairing to a friend who will be living abroad this year.
AA Barclays (and some CITI)... all the way spend all purchases to gain AA EXP status.
AA World Exec card .... to gain access to the Admirals Club.
Shame really. Because American was generous and now- not so much.
That change at JFK for only BA elites and AA elites ----flying on a certain "Flagship: LAX or SFO........thing is ridiculous.
There should be space for 12PM service with the T3 at Terminal 8 for AA Admirals Club flying in Biz --- JFK to MIA on a big 777.
I hear all the Lounges of Chelsea, SOHO, and Greenwich are always empty till 6pm due to LHR flurry of BA departures mainly.
I used to frequently use the duos more than I do now because I realized other cards that I get a better cash return for everyday purchases than these.
