The above listed are my monthly spend. I’m debating if i should get the paladium card and downgrade my Amex gold. Most restaurants I go to don’t accept Amex. The dilemma I’m having is losing 2X points from groceries and 1x from dining for a higher annual fee card. I also lose 3x from my phone and internet if I move those charges to the paladium. Bonus is I can get points from housing but my non-housing expenses arent that much. That does change during ski season but that’s only a third of the year. Also if there are 5x categories like Restaurant/Groceries i would lose out on those as I’ll be putting it on the paladium.
TLDR: considering paladium and cancelling Amex gold. But not sure if my monthly spend would justify a higher annual fee card to unlock points from high mortgage.
