Depends on what youi are spending on. I wouldn't recommend forgoing bonus categories on a different credit card just to spend money on your amex prg. I wouldn't really be concerned about building "rep" with Amex to begin with. You are not going to impress them with your spend. Just use the card as normal and PIF. I'd be more inclined to spend money on my revolvers in hopes of triggering an auto cli. With a charge card what is the point?
Yeah true. I really would like to get my limit up a significant amount on my DC so Ill focus on that. how is citi with CLI's?

IMHO
Depends where most of your spend is? Maybe, maybe not a good idea
+1. And also what other cards you have and how you value MRs. If you are using them in a "bad" way, say for statement credit or gift cards, it's almost certainly a bad idea. If you transfer to partners and get great cpp value that way, using it for everything is probably fine.
So, if on a particular transaction, using a diffeerent card would give more in rewards, IMO it makes little sense to do this for something as nebulous as building a "relationship" with a global mega financial institution
+1
Which was my point
I see no reason to increase their profits unless I'm rewarded via MR,cashback via the best options possible for me
Best card for best value based on my spending pattern
And everyone should asses that before
1) applying for the card
2) using the card
