View original on reddit.comOverview
A Reddit user with a complex credit portfolio and high FICO scores seeks advice on selecting a next credit card optimized for travel rewards for a family of five, weighing options like Bilt, Alaska, and Amex Green amid shifting transfer ratios and spending constraints.
TL;DR
- User holds 14+ credit cards with $150k+ total credit limits and FICO scores up to 868
- Primary goal is travel rewards for family-of-five domestic and future international travel (e.g., Philippines trip in ~3 years)
- Key constraints: annual fee sensitivity ($150–$200 max), low current travel frequency, mortgage payment via Bilt deemed too cumbersome
