So I see some regular posters on here who have cards totaling over 1k in AFs, and I just have to ask how do you justify it?
Total cost/benefit which is what anyone should consider versus AF alone. I don't have that much in AF's but my AF cards generate much more in rewards, benefits, etc than their AF's.
As always with any rewards card you're considering. run the numbers for your spend and do your due diligence.
Don't just rely on what others say and do. You need to select cards based on your needs/wants so they suit you. It doesn't matter if another can justify X if you cannot.

Thanks for your replys.
I have always been a saver and pretty frugal. While I consider that a good thing, there is a point where you have to admit that "you can't take it with you", so traveling more is really a goal of mine to loosen up a bit and enjoy spending for great memories. However if your going to do it, you might as well apply for benefits that will make traveling a better value.
For example, if you asked me a year ago would I stay at a ritz I would laugh saying it was very wasteful. However, i think stepping out of my saver box and taking us to a ritz could be awesome.
I guess I'm just trying to use cards to satisfy my frugal saver side when splurging, if that makes sense 😀
Absolutely!
