Saw this over at DOC.
- 75,000 Membership Rewards for $5,000 spend in six months.
- 20% statement credit for the first $1500 of restaurant spend (up to $300) in first year.
- 10X MRs on grocery and gas for the first $15,000 in six months!
While it would be a stretch for the average consumer to reasonably max out the gas and grocery spend, if one were to do all three above, that's potentially $300 and 231,500 Membership Rewards on top of the usual credits for $21,500 spend! 😮
Wow! Awesome find. Thanks for sharing.

My only hesitation is that I'll likely be unable to use the $200 airline extras credit for 2020. Or do any airlines still have eligible GCs that get the credit?
Yeah, even if someone just puts their regular grocery and gas spend on it without playing RAT games, it's a pretty phenomenal deal.
With Delta, using the card to pay the remainder of an airfare purchase partially purchased with a gift card is still working to trigger the credit as it codes as fees rather than a ticket purchase. For other airlines, I would suggest looking at FlyerTalk for recent data points.

I'd imagine December 2021 will be "How long will I keep getting this stupid NO SUB FOR YOU" pop up.
I'll start pre-emptive mega thread!
As long as you have not used any of the credit, you can switch airlines mid year. I recently switched my Gold airline from Delta to Alaska for an upcoming trip. So setting an unused new Platinum credit should be the same drill.
