this is particularly interesting to me as I will be going on my first spree towards the end of this month and my income and scores are almost identical with yours. I am just waiting for something to come off my CR.
The Costco is my mandatory and to get 2 for one pull I am torn between what other AMEX I will go for. BCE, BCP, JetBlue, I dont know. I am apping for the Southwest, CSP, and was thinking about the Freedom. What made you go with the Ritz? (that AF...whew)
