Amex 75k, Business for 10k spent!!. BAD DEAL!!!

It used to be 50k for 5k spent!. So, an additional in 5k spent will only yield 25k miles! Talk about diminishing returns!

AVOID!!

Is there an application link for the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite Card? Or do you know where I can go to access it (starting tomorrow)? I have a friend who would love this offer! Thanks.
FrugalTravelGuy

Anon: Unfortuately my friend, the past offers do not have any bearing on future or present ones. I certainly agree with you it is diminishing returns but the offer is for 75K and available TODAY regardless of how good it was in the past.

75k MR for only $10,000 spend is a 7.5% cashback (Home depot gift card, etc), how in the world can anyone call that a bad deal?
Kurt

Rick: Thanks for the info on the Amex deal. I got the card and now I'm wondering – what's the best use of MR points? This is my 1st MR card so I've no experience with them.
Howie

@Kurt –

Lots of options; that's why they're so good. Transfer partners, book directly and they often have promos / bonuses to get extra points when you transfer. For example currently with SPG you can transfer at 2:1, usually it is 3:1.

Anyone have any experience with the AMEX 75000 points. AMEX told my dad today it was a fraud and to fax in the copy of the screen shot.
