    yeah, bigshots will be diverse. For me, churning is only worth it for big bonuses, and sweet perks (love taking friends to the lounge with amex plat). i find no joy in expensive hotels, and only consider direct flights. and i think amex biz gold is a great bigshot card because you can get an obscene number of MR through plastiq that way. Also buying alaska miles has crossed my mind a few times.

      Finding out what works for oneself is the joiurney. There is a lack of guide for the higher income as most blogs have to be broad to get interest. Maybe you can start one!

      Biz gold is good because it’s reproducible at a decent value (.75c if you get it on sale). Buying points makes sense to avoid micromanage multiple cards amid slow build up.

    I guess for everyone it’s different, but starting level of 450K income and 3-4M net worth would be a "bigshot"? Assume 15K for flight for 2, $1.5K/day *14 days and 2 trips a year, they can afford the 70-80K price tag yearly. So buying points and using rick’s service would make sense as they can reduce that by half.

    On the other hand, "big shots" probably would want a more tailored experience that doesn’t involve own planning.

    I would like to put in a request for a blog post for the "bigshots". What are the opportunities that the bigshots should be exploiting/considering? Thanks!
