Yep final points earn - I'm thinking of getting the program linked to my wifes ascent and forgoing the bonus points, as I would make that in a years spend bases on 2 vs 1.5 /$
But then I would be getting an extra 80k points per year based on 2 points/$ thereafter...until they catch on and stop it?
I'm in the same boat, except that mathematically, correct me if I'm wrong, you would need to spend $100,000 / year to make up for the bonus you're missing (100K Gateway --> 50,000 airline and the earn is 0.5 ppd better on Ascent therefore 50,000 / 0.5)...
I don't spend $100,000 per year on my credit cards and if I did, no doubt a large portion would be at vendors that do not accept Amex . Either way, I'm not sure I can be coughd to switch it, I like the simplicity of the card earning into my existing account...
