Hello there.
Long time lurker, first post.
I have been researching FF points for a while now and I thought I had the perfect combination for myself until recently read a few posts on these forums.
My situation: Mostly recreational travel, 1-2 domestic return flights and 1 international return flight at least per year. I use CC for just about everywhere possible. I have only been collecting velocity points until now and only have about 40-50k.
My plan was to get the Amex platinum edge for the domestic flight, travel insurance and also MR points which can be transferred to any airline, including velocity and have a low fee CBA mastercard ($0 annual fee for >1000 spend) for places that don't accept Amex. However given recent changes to the travel insurance on Amex, I am wondering whether this is worth it.
I previously had the CBA gold card with no awards, however it had good travel insurance and no fee if spending >10,000 per year.
So my question is, which the best CC to get at the moment that will still get my MR with added benefits on the card. Only reason I am keen on MR is because I would like the flexibility to transfer points to a range of airlines rather than to stick to one. Thanks in advance for your help!
