I am going to spend $9000 for business travel (hotel/dining). Should I open a rewards credit card? Which one?
I figure there is some card that is running a compelling promotion/bonus for signing up so I should look into a new rewards card for this business travel. I would need to apply for this card in the next few days so I receive it before I leave (April 23rd).
I have excellent credit and I already have Blue Cash by Amex, Points through Capital One, and Nordstrom Platinum Rewards. I just started a new reward year for Amex so I haven’t spent the $6500 that is required to tier up to 1/5% rewards yet. The limits on the Capital One and Nordstrom are too low right now but I could call and have them raised if I don’t go with a new card.
I want rewards for dining, and hotels mainly. I anticipate spending around $7K on hotels and $2500 on dining between now and July related to travel for business. Work is purchasing the flights directly.
