Trying to figure out how to redeem points for maximum value across different cc

From time to time Amex runs employee card promotions for BBP, Biz Gold, and Biz Plat. “Add an employee card for your business card, and spend a minimum of X amount for Yk rewards” is their promo. The latest promo ended recently.

> We are skeptical that once all credit-card expenses are taken into account, you are not actually saving any money on your expensive business class ticket.
Your surcharge comment is interesting in multiple ways.
First, I’m surprised that major merchants in Australia put a surcharge just for accepting Amex. Second, I’m surprised that the surcharge is so TINY (less than 1%???). Third, it shows that you are not approaching credit card points via the mainstream way at r/churning, which is chasing sign-up bonuses.

Using CIC -> Gift Card -> Gift of College -> Student Loan Servicer
Using the Chase Ink Cash in this way nets 10k points for every $2,000 spent, resulting in $59.50 in fees. That’s in addition to the sign-up bonus.
For comparison, if the CIC was used directly through GoC, it would net 2k points for every $2,000 (515×3 + 455) spent, resulting in about $55 in fees. So it’s an extra 24k UR points.

I know that Amex gets a lot of hate here about how it has turned into a coupon book, but what’s more infuriating IMO is when they pull sneaky shit like they’re doing with their “Hilton” offer. I got an email yesterday about member week that highlights the Hilton offer, among other things. I have a Homewood suites stay coming up, and if I wasn’t on this sub, I would’ve rebooked it to take advantage of the offer. I wonder if Amex is prepared for the shit storm their CSRs are going to have to put up with when angry customers are going to reach out wondering why they didn’t get credited for this offer.
We are sorry sir, but that promotion only applies to Curio and Tapestry. Yes, sir. It is specified in the terms and conditions. Our advice is to always read your terms and conditions sir. Also you should check out the churning subreddit, they are a crowdsourced website and sometimes it can be helpful. Although sometimes you will get downvoted. It comes with the territory sir. We also sometimes check it out for new patterns of reward abuse. We are sorry that marketing didn’t do a better job at highlighting the limitations. Yes sir, I’ll convey your frustration to management. No, we cannot make exceptions to policy. Thank you for being a loyal American Express member since 2023 and have a nice day.

You have 30 dollars and 8 mouths to feed, what’s for dinner?
I’ll sign up for two Blue Apron plans at new subscriber promotional rates, which is currently $10 for 4 meals. For $20, we would have 8 meals spread across 4 menu choices, including shipping & taxes.

i also got an extra 150k. My rewards activity tab does not explain it. All I see is that my BBP got a 150k “adjustment” in 2023. (It shows up on the annual summary, to the right hand side on the website). Nowhere in the itemized rewards list does the 150k show up. It just showed up at some point in mid-July.
